OS - Assignment 1

The document contains code for two C programs that use processes and forking. The first program uses fork() to create a child process, with the parent and child processes each printing different messages in a loop. The second program uses execvp() to launch the xeyes program, allocating memory for and populating an argument array to pass to execvp(). The document also includes instructions for compiling and running the programs.
