How do I make a skewed tree using fork() in C?

Question

I am looking to create a skewed tree with 3 nodes, 2 of which will have 1 child and the last node will be childless. I do not really understand how to proceed with this.

Example

Answer 1

This seems like the normal use of fork(), basically. Here's some pseudocode:

// start in process 3
int pid = fork();
if (pid == 0) {
   int pid2 = fork();
   if (pid2 == 0) {
       // process 1
   } else {
       // process 2
   }
} else {
   // process 3
}
