WHY?!


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv){

    int cnt = 0;

    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
        fork();
        cnt++;
    }
    printf("PID:  %d\n", getpid());

    printf("Count:  %d\n", cnt);

    return 0;
}

Copy. Paste. Compile. Run.

I only want 10 childprocess. Why is this?

PS: Yes, I'm new to programming

I should rather read man pages (but I get you).

[quote=Man Pages]The fork() function shall create a new process. The new process (child process) shall be an exact copy of the  calling  process  (parent  process)[/quote]

What I understand is that childp. make at their time more chilps. How is this not a infinite loop?

And still, I want to create 10 childsp. for any reason. How do?
