Hi,
I know this question is not exactly appropreate for
this list, but I have no where to turn to...
When using the funciton fork(), in a c program if the
child process happen to interact with a user, and it
happens that more than one user (all using different
child process) access one piece of data (i.e, say it
is a binary tree) and modifying it, will the piece of
data get update simultanously? (i.e, say both users
are adding a node, seperately to this tree, will this
tree have 2 nodes added to it?) Or is it even possible
to do so?
Sorry for the convuluted idea, I just got started
programming C in UNIX not long ago...
Thank you in advance
Frankie
