Example
Example Usage:
int process_name = "MyProcess";
int arguments[] = "some_data";
int timeout = 10;
// Create the process. This is a placeholder, the actual process creation
// would involve system calls.
if (process_name == "MyProcess" && arguments != NULL) {
if (timeout > 0) {
// Ensure a safe timeout.
if (timeout > 0) {
// Execute the process
if (setprocess(process_name, arguments, timeout) == 0) {
printf("Process created successfully.\n");
// Simple success message
printf("Process name: %s\n", process_name);
printf("Arguments: %s\n", arguments);
}
