Substitute for forking in windows

I've been following Beej Networking guide and in the server section there is portion of code where it has called a function fork(). ``` if (!fork()) { // this is the child process close(sockfd); // child doesn't need the listener if (send(new_fd, "Hello, world!", 13, 0) == -1) perror("send"); close(new_fd); exit(0); ``` I'm on a windows machine and cant get that part working. What can I do to solve this?. My code is as follows. ``` /* Server */ #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x501 #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> #include <winsock2.h> #include <ws2tcpip.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> using namespace std; const int winsockVersion = 2; #define BACKLOG 10 #define PORT "3000" int main(void){ WSADATA wsadata; if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(winsockVersion,0),&wsadata) == 0){ cout<<"-WSAStartup initialized..." << endl; int status; int sockfd, new_fd; const char yes = '1'; struct addrinfo hints, *res,*loop_find; struct sockaddr_storage their_addr; socklen_t addr_size; memset(&hints,0,sizeof hints); hints.ai_family = AF_INET; hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM; hints.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE; if ( (status = getaddrinfo(NULL,PORT,&hints,&res)) == 0 ){ cout<<"-Call to get addrinfo successful!." << endl; } for (loop_find = res; loop_find!=NULL; loop_find = loop_find->ai_next){ if ( (sockfd = socket(loop_find->ai_family,loop_find->ai_socktype,loop_find->ai_protocol) ) == -1 ){ cout<<"-Could not create socket." << endl; continue; }else{ cout<<"-Socket Created." << endl; } //clearing in use ports. if (setsockopt(sockfd,SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR,&yes,sizeof(int)) == -1) { cout<<"-Couldnt clear blocked port." << endl; perror("setsockopt"); exit(1); } if( bind(sockfd,loop_find->ai_addr,loop_find->ai_addrlen) == -1 ){ closesocket(sockfd); perror("server: bind"); continue; } break; } if (listen(sockfd,BACKLOG) != -1){ cout<<"-Listening for incoming connections."; } //accept loop. while(true){ socklen_t addr_size = sizeof their_addr; new_fd = accept(sockfd,(sockaddr*)&their_addr,&addr_size); if ( new_fd == -1 ){ perror("accept"); continue; } struct sockaddr new_addr; int len = sizeof new_addr; getpeername(new_fd,&new_addr,&len); cout<<"-Connected to " << new_addr.sa_data << endl; if(!fork()){ //this is a child process closesocket(sockfd); if (send(new_fd,"hello world!!",13,0) == -1){ perror("send"); closesocket(new_fd); exit(0); } } closesocket(new_fd); } } //clear stuff if( WSACleanup() != 0){ cout<<"-WSACleanup unsuccessful" << endl; }else{ cout<<"-WSACleanup successful" << endl; } return 0; } ```
