why does
int main(...) {
fork();
printf("hello again\n");
exit(0);
}
not create an infinte number of processess?
I understood it as follows, the main process creates a childprocess, the child an other child, and so on.
The execution continues after the fork in both the parent and the child, it doesn’t restart the program.
