There are several ways of creating a new process.
- Most used:
- fork system call family ("clone" a runnning process to two running instances of the same code)
- exec system call family (Execute a file)
- But also:
- clone system call (Like fork - but more advanced)
- system and popen system call (Can give security issues)
