Assignment 1

This document contains code snippets demonstrating the fork(), exec(), and wait() system calls in C. The fork() code creates a parent and child process, with each printing its process ID. The exec() code shows the parent process launching /bin/ls via execl() and waiting for it to complete. The wait() code demonstrates the parent process waiting for the child to finish before continuing.
