    Students like me pay thousands of dollars to professors who do not even answer emails to help with the homework. Yet, you explained the topic in 10 mins? You are a Hero!!!

    Worth learning keep making videos Sir. As I had started watching your videos when I was very new to computer science I knew nothing and after completing the C language by seeing your tutorials now I feel confident which definitely going to help me in my career. Thank You Very Much Sir.

    I am late to the party, but you sir are a lifesaver. Thank you so much for creating simple, easy-to-follow tutorials for these complex topics.
    For some reason, UNIX documentation loves to be cryptic and hard to follow. It feels to me that documentation is there just to be a sort of gatekeeper into these concepts.
    Your tutorials are the way things have to be taught and explained, at least for a first contact with the topic.

  • @nebarolandngwa9014
    @nebarolandngwa9014 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Thank you so much for this video. I really got a clearer understanding of how forks work but then I have a question. What is the essence of duplicating processes with the fork and displaying the same output multiple times

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The purpose is usually to have many programs run in parallel but also not share any sort of memory. Using message passing to communicate

    • @shanthgaitonde
      @shanthgaitonde 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can think of processes like apps on your phone. When you open both Instagram and Facebook, in OS, they are two different processes via fork with different memory address space.

  • @drunkmadala
    @drunkmadala 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for clarifying this daunting topic, but my question is at what stage or under what conditions would a programmer use fork() function? Or should I say, what is the practical function of fork()?

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Usually if you want to launch another program from your own program you would use fork() and then a call to execlp() (or similar function). In some niche cases you could use it to distribute work for an algorithm that is easy to parallelize (although usually threads are what are used in that case).
