使用C创建子进程和父进程

我在C中制作以下代码。我正在编写一个程序,使用fork系统调用创建一个新进程。然后我想检查哪一个是活动的,最后如果它是子进程返回该文件中所有目录的列表,或者它是否是父进程等待终止子进程。

以下是我的代码:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <dirent.h> 
#include <iostream>


int main(){
  int pid = fork();
  if(pid < 0){
    printf(stderr, "Fork call failed! \n");
  }
  else if(pid == 0){
    printf("This process is the child from fork=%d\n", pid);
    printf("Thecurrent file inside the directory are:\n");
    DIR *d;
    struct dirent *dir;
    d = opendir(".");
    if (d) {
      while ((dir = readdir(d)) != NULL) {
    printf("%s\n", dir->d_name);
      }
      closedir(d);
    }
    exit(0);
  }
  else{
    printf("This process is the parent from fork=%d\n", pid);
    int stats;    
    //parent process waits for child to terminate
    waitpid(pid, &stats, 0);

    if(stats == 0){
      printf("This process is terminated.");
    }

    if(stats == 1){
      printf("This process is terminated and an error has occured.");
    }
  }
  return 0;
}
fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory  #include <iostream>
                    ^ compilation terminated.

如果我删除#include <iostream>,我会:

/usr/include/stdio.h:362:12: note: expected ‘const char * __restrict__’ but argument is of type ‘struct _IO_FILE *’

我该如何解决这个问题?

答案 0 :(得分:6)

您的错误出现在对printf()的第一次函数调用中:

printf(stderr, "Fork call failed! \n");

实际上应该是fprintf()而不是:

fprintf(stderr, "Fork call failed! \n");

另外,不要忘记包括:

  • unistd.h代表fork()
  • {li> sys/types.hsys/wait.h waitpid()
  • stdlib.h代表exit()

并删除#include <iostream>,因为那是针对C ++的。
