What is the difference between a process task and threads
and what are the things that are acquired by the child
process from the parent process

Answer Posted / achal ubbott

I feel question is what is difference between a process and
thread. A thread is a light weight process i.e. switching
among threads of a process requires much less context
switching(saving contents of CPU registers) as compared to
switching among processes.
