Summary
This chapter focused on the creation of other processes with and without pipes. Pipes allow your current process to read or write data to another process. The system(3) function also permits your process to start other processes without using a pipe.
The next chapter discusses the system calls that make other processes available. There you will learn what you need to master the use of the fork(2) and exec(2) family of functions.
