Processes Exercise

Practice the materials from this topic by implementing the project presented below.

Temp File Generator

Write a program temp-file-generator.c that requires 1 argument: files_count. The program should generate files_count number of files named "temp-file-NN.tmp" (where the number NN is a number from 1 to files_count). Each file is created by a separate process and contains the identifier of the corresponding process as text 1000 times (pid = 1001 should take 4 bytes per ID). The parent process should be notified after each file is created.

Temp File Generator Plus

Write a new program temp-file-generator-plus.c by improving the previous program so that the processes write only to one file, where the sequences of process identifiers do not overlap (we have 1000 times pid_file_1, then 1000 times pid_file_2 ... then 1000 times pid_files_count).
