Lab#7 OS

This document contains code snippets and output from several tasks demonstrating processes and process IDs in Linux. Task 1 prints the process ID and parent process ID of the current process. Task 2 demonstrates fork() to create a child process, with each process printing its ID. Task 4 uses fork() and wait() to have the parent process wait for the child, which executes ls. Task 6 shows how the child would become a zombie process if the parent sleeps before the child exits.
