  2. Process identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_identifier

    In Unix-like operating systems, new processes are created by the fork() system call. The PID is returned to the parent process, enabling it to refer to the child in further function calls. The parent may, for example, wait for the child to terminate with the waitpid() function, or terminate the process with kill().

  5. Principal ideal domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_ideal_domain

    Principal ideal domains are mathematical objects that behave like the integers, with respect to divisibility: any element of a PID has a unique factorization into prime elements (so an analogue of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic holds); any two elements of a PID have a greatest common divisor (although it may not be possible to find it ...

  6. fork (system call) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(system_call)

    In computing, particularly in the context of the Unix operating system and its workalikes, fork is an operation whereby a process creates a copy of itself. It is an interface which is required for compliance with the POSIX and Single UNIX Specification standards.

  7. Fork–exec - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork–exec

    fork() is the name of the system call that the parent process uses to "divide" itself ("fork") into two identical processes. After calling fork(), the created child process is an exact copy of the parent except for the return value of the fork() call.
