    int pid;
    pid=getpid();
    
    printf("Current Process ID is : %d\n",pid);

    printf("[ Forking Child Process ... ] \n");    
    pid=fork(); /* This will Create Child Process and
Returns Child's PID */
if(pid < 0) { /* Process Creation Failed ... */
exit(-1); } elseif(pid==0) { /* Child Process */
printf("Child Process Started ...\n"); printf("Child Process Completed ...\n"); } else { /* Parent Process */
sleep(10); printf("Parent Process Running ... \n"); printf("I am In Zombie State ...\n"); while(1) { /*
Infinite Loop that Keeps the
Process Running
