Question

In unix, which system call creates the new process? Select one: a. New b. Create c. Fork d. None of the mentioned

Answer 1

In UNIX, fork system creates the new process.

Brief note on creating new process:

The fork system creates an exact copy of original process. Here, the forking process is called as "parent process" and the new process is called as "child process". If any changes take place in parent process, those chose are not visible to the child and vice versa. Before a fork, if a file is open in the parent then it will continue to be open in the parent and child afterward.
