“process” is a term which has occurred more than once already. A definition which will suit our purposes reasonably well at present is simply “a program in execution”.
Details of the representation of processes in UNIX will be discussed in the next chapter. For now we just note that each process involves a “proc” structure from the array called “proc” and a “per process data area” which includes one copy of the structure “u”.
