                          I'm just playing around with zombie processes on WSL. I wrote a quite simple program: 


    
    #include 
    #include 
    #include 
    
    #define CHILD 0
    
    int main(){
            int p;
            p = fork();
            if(p == CHILD){
                    printf("Kind-PID: %u\n", getpid());
                    exit(1);
            } else if(p > CHILD){
                    sleep(30);
            }
            else return EXIT_FAILURE;
            return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }
    


While I can see the zombie process on a native Linux using ps, I can't see a zombie process on WSL. Can anyone explain why?
