Question: this is my current code : #include #include #include #include #include #include using namespace std; int main ( ) { pid _ t pid; /

this is my current code : #include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
pid_t pid; // process id
const char *message;
int n;
int exit_code;
cout << "fork program starting
";
pid = fork();
switch (pid){
case -1:
cout << "Fork failure!
";
return 1;
case 0:
{
message = "This is the child
";
n =5;
exit_code =9;
// Create grandchi ld
pid_t grandchild_pid = fork();
if (grandchild_pid ==0){
// Grandchild process
cout << "Grandchild Process. ID: "<< getpid()<<", Parent ID: "<< getppid()<<", Grandparent ID: "<< getppid()<< endl;
exit(0); // Grandchild exits
} else {
// Child waits for grandchild to finish
int grandchild_status;
wait(&grandchild_status);
cout << "Grandchild finished, ID: "<< grandchild_pid << endl;
}
break;
}
default:
{
message = "This is the parent
";
n =3;
exit_code =0;
break;
}
}
for (int i =0; i < n; ++i){
cout << message;
sleep(1);
}
// Waiting for child to finish
if (pid !=0){// parent
int stat_val;
pid_t child_pid;
child_pid = wait(&stat_val); // wait for child
cout << "Child finished: PID ="<< child_pid << endl;
if (WIFEXITED(stat_val))
cout << "child exited with code "<< WEXITSTATUS(stat_val)<< endl;
else
cout << "child terminated abnormally!" << endl;
}
exit(exit_code);
} i need help adding this to it as i tried it is only running the pid of thr child and exit : Modify the program so that the child process creates another child and waits for it. The grandchild prints
out the IDs of itself, its parent and grandparent.
