Consider the following example program:
 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    printf("--beginning of program\n");
 
    int counter = 0;
    pid_t pid = fork();

        int i = 0;

        {
            printf("child process: counter=%d\n", ++counter);
        }
    }
    else if (pid > 0)
    {
        // parent process
        int j = 0;
