What are the operations of processes?

Process creation

A process may create several new processes. The creating process is called as parent process, where as the new process is called the children processes. When a processes makes a sub processes, the parent may have to partition its resources among its children.

When a process creates new processes, two possibilities exist in terms of implementation.

1. The parent continues to implement concurrently with its children.

2. The parent waits unless some or all of its children have terminated.
