Checks the return value of fork to branch logic between the original parent and the newly created child process.
Distinguishing note: None of the candidates cover the fork system call's return value pattern for distinguishing parent from child; they focus on UI or job dependency hierarchies.

This is an open-source, crowd-sourced wiki textbook that teaches Linux system programming in C. It covers the core operating system concepts of process management through the fork-exec-wait model, dynamic memory allocation using implicit free list heap allocators, inode-based file systems, inter-process communication via pipes and shared memory, POSIX threads with synchronization primitives, signal-based asynchronous notification, virtual memory with page table translation, and runtime diagnostics using Valgrind and GDB. The textbook distinguishes itself by providing practical, implementation
