The following C program is run in a Linux environment. Analyse it carefully and answer the following questions
(using reference to the line numbers, where possible):

1: #include <stdio.h>
2:
3: int forkret;
4:
5: int main() {
6: printf(“Debug mesg A.\n”);
7: forkret = fork();
8: switch( forkret ) (
9: case 0 : printf(“Debug mesg B.\n”); break;
10: default : printf(“Debug mesg C.\n”); break;
11: }
12: return( 0 );
13:}

i) Concisely explain precisely what happens when line 7 is executed.
ii) What are the possible values (and their significance) assigned to the forkret variable in line 7?

very much approciated )

1. Is this homework ? read this.
2. This does not belong in Algorithms forum - you should have posted this in the C++ forum.
