What is Fork swap?

"Fork ()" is a system call to make a child process. When the parent process calls "fork()" system call, the child process is formed and if there is short of memory then the child process is sent to the read-to-run state in the swap device, and return to the user state without swapping the parent process. When the memory will be available the child process will be changed into the main memory.
