Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 31

A developer is working on a project using a Linux tool that enables writing processes to obtain these required results:
✑ If the process is unsuccessful, a negative value is returned.
✑ If the process is successful, 0 value is returned to the child process, and the process ID is sent to the parent process.
Which component results from this operation?

Answer options

• A. parent directory name of a file pathname
• B. process spawn scheduled
• C. macros for managing CPU sets
• D. new process created by parent process

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the operation describes the creation of a new process by the parent process, which aligns with the described outcomes. Options A, B, and C do not accurately reflect the result of the described process execution in a Linux environment.
