Fork() System call program in C Language:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

void create_process() {

pid_t pid = fork();

if (pid < 0) {

printf("Error creating child process.\n");

exit(1);

else if (pid == 0) {

// Child process

printf("Hello from the child process!\n");

// Add your code here for the child process

exit(0);

else {

// Parent process

printf("Hello from the parent process!\n");


// Add your code here for the parent process

wait(NULL);

int main()

create_process();

return 0;

Close() System Call Program in C language:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

void close_handle(FILE *file) {

if (file != NULL) {

fclose(file);

printf("Handle closed successfully.\n");

else {
printf("Invalid handle.\n");

int main() {

// Example usage

FILE *file = fopen("example.txt", "r");

close_handle(file);

return 0;

Exec() System Call Program in C language:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

void exec_process() {

char *args[] = {"ls", "-l", NULL};

execvp(args[0], args);

printf("Exec failed!\n");

exit(1);
}

int main() {

// Example usage

exec_process();

return 0;

Exit() System Call Pogram in C language:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

void exit_process()

printf("Exiting the process...\n");

exit(0);

int main() {

// Example usage

exit_process();

return 0;
