Problem forking fork() multiple processes Unix

Question

So I have this function that forks N number of child processes. However it seems to be forking more than specified. Can you tell me what I\'m doing wrong? Thanks

Answer 1

Each child process picks up and continues the loop.

In other words, child 1 is spawned and continues with iteration #2 of loop etc.

When a process is forked, a copy of the current process is made: the resulting child process continues execution after the fork() call. That's why you must take care of the return code in your logic.
