Operating Systems Question

1.What is the maximum number of processes in the system at any time using the following code segment?

extern char mypath[];

for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )

{

pid_t pid, pid_out;

unsigned char status;

if ( pid = fork() )

pid_out = wait ( &status );

else

execl ( mypath, "child", "parameter", NULL );

}

Assume that child performs some simple computation and returns the result, that is captured in status.
