how to use clone()

[kid420]

I want to write a function using clone() to generate a simple process, which just need to print some information about the process, for example, pid of the parent process and pid of the child process..

If we're talking C here, have a look at the functions fork(), getpid() and getppid().

HTH,

i could only use clone() to create a process, professor gave this homework... there are few information or examples about clone()..

Well, here is an article from the Linux Journal.

This and 'man clone' should help.
