The parent and child processes are two separate processes, the child
the identical copy of the parent process, at the time when fork(2) was
called, in a separate memory space. Whatever you normally do
(malloc(3), free(3)) in a program you should do in a forked process.

Think of file copy - the two files are identical. Editing one file has
no impact on its copy.
