以下程序,创建了一个子进程,且父进程等待子进程的退出而退出:
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { pid_t pid; char *message; int n; int exit_code; printf("fork program starting\n"); pid = fork(); switch(pid) { case -1: perror("fork failed"); exit(1); case 0: message = "This is the child"; n = 5; exit_code = 37; break; default: message = "This is the parent"; n = 3; exit_code = 0; break; } for(; n > 0; n--) { puts(message); sleep(1); } if(pid != 0) { int stat_val; pid_t child_pid; //while(1); //等待子进程的退出 child_pid = wait(&stat_val); printf("Child has finished: PID = %d\n", child_pid); if(WIFEXITED(stat_val)) printf("Child exited with code %d\n", WEXITSTATUS(stat_val)); else printf("Child terminated abnormally\n"); } exit(exit_code); }
运行结果:
需要注意的是:假如上面程序中子进程退出了,但是父进程在wait()之前,子进程在进程表中的信息还是存在的,可在wait()前面暂停,用#ps -al命令查看,结果如下:
此时,假如kill了父进程,那么子进程就变成了“僵尸进程”(进程已经不再运行,但它仍存在于系统下) ,此后子进程将认init进程为父进程。由init进程接管,直到init进程发现并释放它。
