Answer Posted / dheeraj gahtori
Process is an executing program with several components and
proprieties.
1.exec thread
2. PID
3. priority
4. memory context
5. enviornment
6. file descriptors
7. security credentials.
processes began through a process called "fork and exec".
that is when one command starts another, the child process
first forks , the kernel copying over pages of memory from
the present process to a new location for the child process.
The child then execs, executing the new command and
overwriting the data.the thread is , which controls the flow
of the process. A process needs at least one thread.
