Child process
A
child process
in computing is a
process
created by another process (the
parent process
). This technique pertains to
multitasking operating systems
. There are two major procedures for creating a child process: the
fork system call
(preferred in
Unix-like
systems and the
POSIX
standard) and the
spawn
(preferred in the
modern (NT) kernel
of
Microsoft Windows
, as well as in some historical operating systems).
