QUIZ 5 - Process Management

This document contains 3 questions about process management in C programming. Question 1 asks to draw a binary tree and count the number of processes created by a given code snippet. Question 2 asks what values of the variable x would be displayed by the child and parent processes in a given code snippet. Question 3 asks to write a master-slave implementation that accepts 5 filenames as arguments, creates 5 child processes to run the wc command on each file, and display the output.

QUIZ 5 – Process Management

Q1. Draw a binary to show the number of processes created by following code. What is the count of
number of processes created?
int main(void)
{
fork() && fork();
fork();
}

Q2. Consider the following code. What will be the value of variable x displayed from child processes and
parent process assuming that child processes terminates successfully.
int main(void)
{
int x = 10, status, childpid;
int pid1 = fork();
if (pid1 != 0)
{
childpid = wait(&status);
x = x + WEXITSTATUS(status);
printf("%d",x);
}
else
{
int pid2 = fork();
if (pid2 != 0)
{
childpid = wait(&status);
x = x + WEXITSTATUS(status);
printf("%d",x);
exit(x);
}
else
x = x + 5;
printf("%d",x);
exit(x);

}
}

Q3. Write a master-slave implementation for the following situation.


1. Main program accepts 5 filenames of text files as command line argument.
2. You need to create 5 child processes and pass each of the 5 filenames as a command line
argument to each of the 5 child process. For example first child will get the filename 1, second
child will get filename 2 and so on.
3. Child process will execute wc command for the filename provided and display the output from
the wc command.
