Difference between Child process and Process (computing)

Child process vs. Process (computing)

A child process in computing is a process created by another process (the parent process). In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed.

Similarities between Child process and Process (computing)

Child process and Process (computing) have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Computer multitasking, Exit (system call), File descriptor, Fork (system call), Kernel (operating system), Microsoft Windows, Orphan process, Parent process, Task (computing), Unix, Wait (system call), Zombie process.

Computer multitasking

In computing, multitasking is the concurrent execution of multiple tasks (also known as processes) over a certain period of time.

Exit (system call)

On many computer operating systems, a computer process terminates its execution by making an exit system call.

File descriptor

In Unix and related computer operating systems, a file descriptor (FD, less frequently fildes) is an abstract indicator (handle) used to access a file or other input/output resource, such as a pipe or network socket.

Fork (system call)

In computing, particularly in the context of the Unix operating system and its workalikes, fork is an operation whereby a process creates a copy of itself.

Kernel (operating system)

The kernel is a computer program that is the core of a computer's operating system, with complete control over everything in the system.

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows is a group of several graphical operating system families, all of which are developed, marketed, and sold by Microsoft.

Orphan process

An orphan process is a computer process whose parent process has finished or terminated, though it remains running itself.

Parent process

In computing, a parent process is a process that has created one or more child processes.

Task (computing)

In computing, a task is a unit of execution or a unit of work.

Unix

Unix (trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, development starting in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research center by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others.

Wait (system call)

In computer operating systems, a process (or task) may wait on another process to complete its execution.

Zombie process

On Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems, a zombie process or defunct process is a process that has completed execution (via the exit system call) but still has an entry in the process table: it is a process in the "Terminated state".

Child process and Process (computing) Comparison

Child process has 34 relations, while Process (computing) has 63. As they have in common 12, the Jaccard index is 12.37% = 12 / (34 + 63).
