Exam LX0-103 topic 3 question 39 discussion

The character that, when added to the end of a command, runs that command in the background as a child process of the current shell is C, &. Here's how it works: When you run a command in a terminal, it normally runs in the foreground and has control of the terminal until it finishes executing. By adding the & character to the end of a command, you tell the shell to run the command in the background, which means that it will be executed as a child process of the current shell without taking control of the terminal. You can continue to use the terminal to run other commands while the background command is running.
