int main()

pid_t child_pid = vfork();
if(child_pid < 0)
{
printf("vfork() error\n");
exit(-1);
}
if(child_pid != 0)
{
printf("Hey I am parent %d\nMy child is %d\n",getpid(),child_pid);
wait(NULL);
}
else
{
printf("Hey I am child %d\nMy parent is %d\n",getpid(),getppid());
execl("/bin/echo","echo","hello",NULL);
exit(0);
}
return 0;
}
output:
Hey I am child 4
My parent is 3
Hey I am parent 3
My child is 4
hello
My question : Why is "hello" printed after the execution of parent process? I have started learning about vfork(). Could anyone please help me with this?
