How can I manage processes in C++?

How can I manage processes in C++?

In C++, you can manage processes using the <cstdlib> library for system calls or the <unistd.h> library for POSIX systems.

Can you give me an example of creating a new process?

Sure! You can use the fork() function to create a new process. Here's a simple example:

#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
    pid_t pid = fork();
    if (pid == 0) {
        // Child process
        std::cout << "This is the child process." << std::endl;
    } else if (pid > 0) {
        // Parent process
        std::cout << "This is the parent process." << std::endl;
    } else {
        std::cerr << "Fork failed!" << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

What about process synchronization?

For process synchronization in C++, you can use mutexes and condition variables from the <thread> library to avoid race conditions.

Are there any libraries that can help with process management?

Yes, libraries like Boost.Process provide a higher-level interface for managing processes in C++.
