你想的通吗–关于fork(2)函数

C/C++ admin 2705浏览 0评论

今天看socket编程,遇到了fork函数,以前学过linux编程,对fork了解一点。可是都说它有两个返回值我就想不通了。

后来我又琢磨了会,查了查man手册,终于被我搞清楚了。fork既然是创建子进程的,那么说它返回两个值不如说是程序执行了两次:一次是父进程在执行,另一次是子进程在执行。

看看下面的代码:

    <span style="color: #008000;">}</span>
    <span style="color: #0000ff;">else</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">if</span> <span style="color: #008000;">(</span>pid <span style="color: #000080;">==</span> <span style="color: #0000dd;">0</span><span style="color: #008000;">)</span>

    <span style="color: #0000ff;">else</span>
            <span style="color: #0000dd;">printf</span><span style="color: #008000;">(</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">"output from parent:%d<span style="color: #000099; font-weight: bold;">n</span>"</span>,getpid<span style="color: #008000;">(</span><span style="color: #008000;">)</span><span style="color: #008000;">)</span><span style="color: #008080;">;</span>
    <span style="color: #0000dd;">printf</span><span style="color: #008000;">(</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">"output %d<span style="color: #000099; font-weight: bold;">n</span>"</span>,pid<span style="color: #008000;">)</span><span style="color: #008080;">;</span>
    <span style="color: #0000ff;">return</span> <span style="color: #0000dd;">0</span><span style="color: #008080;">;</span>
<span style="color: #008000;">}</span>

编译执行,结果如下:

output from child:4694
output 0
output from parent:4693
output 4694
可以很明显的看出,这个程序执行了两次,第一次fork返回了0,相当于是pid=4694的子进程在执行,第二次返回值为4694,也就是返回了子进程的pid,相当于是父进程在执行。
