@chapter Processes
@cindex process
@dfn{Processes} are the primitive units for allocation of system
resources. Each process has its own address space and (usually) one
thread of control. A process executes a program; you can have multiple
processes executing the same program, but each process has its own copy
of the program within its own address space and executes it
independently of the other copies.
@cindex child process
@cindex parent process
Processes are organized hierarchically. Each process has a @dfn{parent
process} which explicitly arranged to create it. The processes created
by a given parent are called its @dfn{child processes}. A child
inherits many of its attributes from the parent process.
This chapter describes how a program can create, terminate, and control
child processes. Actually, there are three distinct operations
involved: creating a new child process, causing the new process to
execute a program, and coordinating the completion of the child process
with the original program.
The @code{system} function provides a simple, portable mechanism for
running another program; it does all three steps automatically. If you
need more control over the details of how this is done, you can use the
primitive functions to do each step individually instead.

The easy way to run another program is to use the @code{system}
function. This function does all the work of running a subprogram, but
it doesn't give you much control over the details: you have to wait
until the subprogram terminates before you can do anything else.

@deftypefun int system (const char *@var{command})
@pindex sh
This function executes @var{command} as a shell command. In the GNU C
library, it always uses the default shell @code{sh} to run the command.
In particular, it searches the directories in @code{PATH} to find
programs to execute. The return value is @code{-1} if it wasn't
possible to create the shell process, and otherwise is the status of the
shell process. @xref{Process Completion}, for details on how this
status code can be interpreted.

This function is a cancelation point in multi-threaded programs. This
is a problem if the thread allocates some resources (like memory, file
descriptors, semaphores or whatever) at the time @code{system} is
called. If the thread gets canceled these resources stay allocated
until the program ends. To avoid this calls to @code{system} should be
protected using cancelation handlers.

@pindex stdlib.h
The @code{system} function is declared in the header file
@file{stdlib.h}.
@end deftypefun
@strong{Portability Note:} Some C implementations may not have any
notion of a command processor that can execute other programs. You can
determine whether a command processor exists by executing
@w{@code{system (NULL)}}; if the return value is nonzero, a command
processor is available.
The @code{popen} and @code{pclose} functions (@pxref{Pipe to a
Subprocess}) are closely related to the @code{system} function. They
allow the parent process to communicate with the standard input and
output channels of the command being executed.
@node Process Creation Concepts
@section Process Creation Concepts
This section gives an overview of processes and of the steps involved in
creating a process and making it run another program.
@cindex process ID
@cindex process lifetime
Each process is named by a @dfn{process ID} number. A unique process ID
is allocated to each process when it is created. The @dfn{lifetime} of
a process ends when its termination is reported to its parent process;
at that time, all of the process resources, including its process ID,
are freed.
@cindex creating a process
@cindex forking a process
@cindex child process
@cindex parent process
Processes are created with the @code{fork} system call (so the operation
of creating a new process is sometimes called @dfn{forking} a process).
The @dfn{child process} created by @code{fork} is a copy of the original
@dfn{parent process}, except that it has its own process ID.
After forking a child process, both the parent and child processes
continue to execute normally. If you want your program to wait for a
child process to finish executing before continuing, you must do this
explicitly after the fork operation, by calling @code{wait} or
@code{waitpid} (@pxref{Process Completion}). These functions give you
limited information about why the child terminated---for example, its
exit status code.
A newly forked child process continues to execute the same program as
its parent process, at the point where the @code{fork} call returns.
You can use the return value from @code{fork} to tell whether the program
is running in the parent process or the child.
@cindex process image
Having several processes run the same program is only occasionally
useful. But the child can execute another program using one of the
@code{exec} functions; see @ref{Executing a File}. The program that the
process is executing is called its @dfn{process image}. Starting
execution of a new program causes the process to forget all about its
previous process image; when the new program exits, the process exits
too, instead of returning to the previous process image.
@node Process Identification
@section Process Identification
The @code{pid_t} data type represents process IDs. You can get the
process ID of a process by calling @code{getpid}. The function
@code{getppid} returns the process ID of the parent of the current
process (this is also known as the @dfn{parent process ID}). Your
program should include the header files @file{unistd.h} and
@file{sys/types.h} to use these functions.

@deftp {Data Type} pid_t
The @code{pid_t} data type is a signed integer type which is capable
of representing a process ID. In the GNU library, this is an @code{int}.

@node Creating a Process
@section Creating a Process
The @code{fork} function is the primitive for creating a process.
It is declared in the header file @file{unistd.h}.
@pindex unistd.h
@comment unistd.h
@comment POSIX.1
@deftypefun pid_t fork (void)
The @code{fork} function creates a new process.
If the operation is successful, there are then both parent and child
processes and both see @code{fork} return, but with different values: it
returns a value of @code{0} in the child process and returns the child's
process ID in the parent process.
If process creation failed, @code{fork} returns a value of @code{-1} in
the parent process. The following @code{errno} error conditions are
defined for @code{fork}:
@table @code
@item EAGAIN
There aren't enough system resources to create another process, or the
user already has too many processes running. This means exceeding the
@code{RLIMIT_NPROC} resource limit, which can usually be increased;
@pxref{Limits on Resources}.
@item ENOMEM
The process requires more space than the system can supply.
@end table
@end deftypefun
The specific attributes of the child process that differ from the
parent process are:
@itemize @bullet
@item
The child process has its own unique process ID.
@item
The parent process ID of the child process is the process ID of its
parent process.
@item
The child process gets its own copies of the parent process's open file
descriptors. Subsequently changing attributes of the file descriptors
in the parent process won't affect the file descriptors in the child,
and vice versa. @xref{Control Operations}. However, the file position
associated with each descriptor is shared by both processes;
@pxref{File Position}.
@item
The elapsed processor times for the child process are set to zero;
see @ref{Processor Time}.
@item
The child doesn't inherit file locks set by the parent process.
@c !!! flock locks shared
@xref{Control Operations}.
@item
The child doesn't inherit alarms set by the parent process.
@xref{Setting an Alarm}.
@item
The set of pending signals (@pxref{Delivery of Signal}) for the child
process is cleared. (The child process inherits its mask of blocked
signals and signal actions from the parent process.)

@deftypefun pid_t vfork (void)
The @code{vfork} function is similar to @code{fork} but on some systems
it is more efficient; however, there are restrictions you must follow to
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
use it safely.
While @code{fork} makes a complete copy of the calling process's address
space and allows both the parent and child to execute independently,
@code{vfork} does not make this copy. Instead, the child process
created with @code{vfork} shares its parent's address space until it
calls @code{_exit} or one of the @code{exec} functions. In the
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
meantime, the parent process suspends execution.
You must be very careful not to allow the child process created with
@code{vfork} to modify any global data or even local variables shared
with the parent. Furthermore, the child process cannot return from (or
do a long jump out of) the function that called @code{vfork}! This
would leave the parent process's control information very confused. If
in doubt, use @code{fork} instead.
Some operating systems don't really implement @code{vfork}. The GNU C
library permits you to use @code{vfork} on all systems, but actually
executes @code{fork} if @code{vfork} isn't available. If you follow
the proper precautions for using @code{vfork}, your program will still
work even if the system uses @code{fork} instead.

The @code{execv} function executes the file named by @var{filename} as a

The @var{argv} argument is an array of null-terminated strings that is
used to provide a value for the @code{argv} argument to the @code{main}
function of the program to be executed. The last element of this array
must be a null pointer. By convention, the first element of this array
is the file name of the program sans directory names. @xref{Program

@deftypefun int execlp (const char *@var{filename}, const char *@var{arg0}, @dots{})
This function is like @code{execl}, except that it performs the same
file name searching as the @code{execvp} function.
@end deftypefun
The size of the argument list and environment list taken together must
not be greater than @code{ARG_MAX} bytes. @xref{General Limits}. In
the GNU system, the size (which compares against @code{ARG_MAX})
includes, for each string, the number of characters in the string, plus
the size of a @code{char *}, plus one, rounded up to a multiple of the
size of a @code{char *}. Other systems may have somewhat different
rules for counting.
These functions normally don't return, since execution of a new program
causes the currently executing program to go away completely. A value
of @code{-1} is returned in the event of a failure. In addition to the
usual file name errors (@pxref{File Name Errors}), the following
@code{errno} error conditions are defined for these functions:
@table @code
@item E2BIG
The combined size of the new program's argument list and environment
list is larger than @code{ARG_MAX} bytes. The GNU system has no
specific limit on the argument list size, so this error code cannot
result, but you may get @code{ENOMEM} instead if the arguments are too
big for available memory.
@item ENOEXEC
The specified file can't be executed because it isn't in the right format.
@item ENOMEM
Executing the specified file requires more storage than is available.
@end table
If execution of the new file succeeds, it updates the access time field
of the file as if the file had been read. @xref{File Times}, for more
details about access times of files.
The point at which the file is closed again is not specified, but
is at some point before the process exits or before another process
image is executed.
Executing a new process image completely changes the contents of memory,
copying only the argument and environment strings to new locations. But
many other attributes of the process are unchanged:
@itemize @bullet
@item
The process ID and the parent process ID. @xref{Process Creation Concepts}.
@item
Session and process group membership. @xref{Concepts of Job Control}.
@item
Real user ID and group ID, and supplementary group IDs. @xref{Process
Persona}.
@item
Pending alarms. @xref{Setting an Alarm}.
@item
Current working directory and root directory. @xref{Working
Directory}. In the GNU system, the root directory is not copied when
executing a setuid program; instead the system default root directory
is used for the new program.
@item
File mode creation mask. @xref{Setting Permissions}.
@item
Process signal mask; see @ref{Process Signal Mask}.
@item
Pending signals; see @ref{Blocking Signals}.
@item
Elapsed processor time associated with the process; see @ref{Processor Time}.
@end itemize
If the set-user-ID and set-group-ID mode bits of the process image file
are set, this affects the effective user ID and effective group ID
(respectively) of the process. These concepts are discussed in detail
in @ref{Process Persona}.
Signals that are set to be ignored in the existing process image are
also set to be ignored in the new process image. All other signals are
set to the default action in the new process image. For more
information about signals, see @ref{Signal Handling}.
File descriptors open in the existing process image remain open in the
new process image, unless they have the @code{FD_CLOEXEC}
(close-on-exec) flag set. The files that remain open inherit all
attributes of the open file description from the existing process image,
including file locks. File descriptors are discussed in @ref{Low-Level I/O}.
Streams, by contrast, cannot survive through @code{exec} functions,
because they are located in the memory of the process itself. The new
process image has no streams except those it creates afresh. Each of
the streams in the pre-@code{exec} process image has a descriptor inside
it, and these descriptors do survive through @code{exec} (provided that
they do not have @code{FD_CLOEXEC} set). The new process image can
reconnect these to new streams using @code{fdopen} (@pxref{Descriptors
and Streams}).
@node Process Completion
@section Process Completion
@cindex process completion
@cindex waiting for completion of child process
@cindex testing exit status of child process
The functions described in this section are used to wait for a child
process to terminate or stop, and determine its status. These functions
are declared in the header file @file{sys/wait.h}.
@pindex sys/wait.h
@comment sys/wait.h
@comment POSIX.1
@deftypefun pid_t waitpid (pid_t @var{pid}, int *@var{status-ptr}, int @var{options})
The @code{waitpid} function is used to request status information from a
child process whose process ID is @var{pid}. Normally, the calling
process is suspended until the child process makes status information
available by terminating.
Other values for the @var{pid} argument have special interpretations. A
value of @code{-1} or @code{WAIT_ANY} requests status information for
any child process; a value of @code{0} or @code{WAIT_MYPGRP} requests
information for any child process in the same process group as the
calling process; and any other negative value @minus{} @var{pgid}
requests information for any child process whose process group ID is
@var{pgid}.
If status information for a child process is available immediately, this
function returns immediately without waiting. If more than one eligible
child process has status information available, one of them is chosen
randomly, and its status is returned immediately. To get the status
from the other eligible child processes, you need to call @code{waitpid}
again.
The @var{options} argument is a bit mask. Its value should be the
bitwise OR (that is, the @samp{|} operator) of zero or more of the
@code{WNOHANG} and @code{WUNTRACED} flags. You can use the
@code{WNOHANG} flag to indicate that the parent process shouldn't wait;
and the @code{WUNTRACED} flag to request status information from stopped
processes as well as processes that have terminated.
The status information from the child process is stored in the object
that @var{status-ptr} points to, unless @var{status-ptr} is a null pointer.

This function is a cancelation point in multi-threaded programs. This
is a problem if the thread allocates some resources (like memory, file
descriptors, semaphores or whatever) at the time @code{waitpid} is
called. If the thread gets canceled these resources stay allocated
until the program ends. To avoid this calls to @code{waitpid} should be
protected using cancelation handlers.
@c ref pthread_cleanup_push / pthread_cleanup_pop
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
The return value is normally the process ID of the child process whose
status is reported. If there are child processes but none of them is
waiting to be noticed, @code{waitpid} will block until one is. However,
if the @code{WNOHANG} option was specified, @code{waitpid} will return
zero instead of blocking.
If a specific PID to wait for was given to @code{waitpid}, it will
ignore all other children (if any). Therefore if there are children
waiting to be noticed but the child whose PID was specified is not one
of them, @code{waitpid} will block or return zero as described above.
A value of @code{-1} is returned in case of error. The following
@code{errno} error conditions are defined for this function:
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
@table @code
@item EINTR
The function was interrupted by delivery of a signal to the calling
process. @xref{Interrupted Primitives}.
@item ECHILD
There are no child processes to wait for, or the specified @var{pid}
is not a child of the calling process.
@item EINVAL
An invalid value was provided for the @var{options} argument.
@end table
@end deftypefun
These symbolic constants are defined as values for the @var{pid} argument
to the @code{waitpid} function.
@comment Extra blank lines make it look better.
@table @code
@item WAIT_ANY
This constant macro (whose value is @code{-1}) specifies that
@code{waitpid} should return status information about any child process.
@item WAIT_MYPGRP
This constant (with value @code{0}) specifies that @code{waitpid} should
return status information about any child process in the same process
group as the calling process.
@end table
These symbolic constants are defined as flags for the @var{options}
argument to the @code{waitpid} function. You can bitwise-OR the flags
together to obtain a value to use as the argument.
@table @code
@item WNOHANG
This flag specifies that @code{waitpid} should return immediately
instead of waiting, if there is no child process ready to be noticed.
@item WUNTRACED
This flag specifies that @code{waitpid} should report the status of any
child processes that have been stopped as well as those that have
terminated.
@end table
@comment sys/wait.h
@comment POSIX.1
@deftypefun pid_t wait (int *@var{status-ptr})
This is a simplified version of @code{waitpid}, and is used to wait
until any one child process terminates. The call:
@smallexample
wait (&status)
@end smallexample
@noindent
is exactly equivalent to:
@smallexample
waitpid (-1, &status, 0)
@end smallexample

This function is a cancelation point in multi-threaded programs. This
is a problem if the thread allocates some resources (like memory, file
descriptors, semaphores or whatever) at the time @code{wait} is
called. If the thread gets canceled these resources stay allocated
until the program ends. To avoid this calls to @code{wait} should be
protected using cancelation handlers.

@node BSD Wait Functions
@section BSD Process Wait Functions
The GNU library also provides these related facilities for compatibility
with BSD Unix. BSD uses the @code{union wait} data type to represent
status values rather than an @code{int}. The two representations are
actually interchangeable; they describe the same bit patterns. The GNU
C Library defines macros such as @code{WEXITSTATUS} so that they will
work on either kind of object, and the @code{wait} function is defined
to accept either type of pointer as its @var{status-ptr} argument.
These functions are declared in @file{sys/wait.h}.

There are a couple of things you should pay attention to in this

The @code{execl} call in the child process doesn't return if it is
successful. If it fails, you must do something to make the child
process terminate. Just returning a bad status code with @code{return}
would leave two processes running the original program. Instead, the
right behavior is for the child process to report failure to its parent
process.
Call @code{_exit} to accomplish this. The reason for using @code{_exit}
instead of @code{exit} is to avoid flushing fully buffered streams such
as @code{stdout}. The buffers of these streams probably contain data
that was copied from the parent process by the @code{fork}, data that
will be output eventually by the parent process. Calling @code{exit} in
the child would output the data twice. @xref{Termination Internals}.
