I'm trying to write a concurrent TCP server in Windows. So the server process will start a child process each time it accepts a connection from the client. I don't know if it's necessary for the parent process to clean the child process in Windows just like what we usually do in Linux. I have been searching for this question for 2 days, but I get only irrelevant answers, like the solution in Linux or there is no UNIX style signal operation in Windows.

Sincerely thank you for your answers!

You don't need to do anything. Just remember to close the thread and process handles CreateProcess gives you.

You use WaitForSingleObject when you need to wait for a child process to complete its work.

On Windows, a process object goes away after it has finished executing and all handles to it have been closed.
