you can use vi or vim editor to edit your program like test.c,
then you can compile it :
gcc -o test test.c
test is a executable file name of test.c.
at last execute test like this
../test

One crude way is to use the system function, declared in stdlib.h. To
gain finer control, you need to use implementation and system specific
extensions, which are topical in a group devoted to your system or
implementation.

What do you mean by a task in C?
I think you are asking a question beyond the scope of the C
lang. It would be better if you can elaborate your question.

In my project I have more than one task(process). Is their any
approach to create a task(process) using C language on linux
environment. Is their any built in functions in C for that? (Why linux
environment means for different RTOS has different built in
functions). Threads can be used but is their any other approach which
has all the properties of a process than thread?

Your question is not related to standard C.
<OT>
Posting in user groups related to Linux programming would be more
appropriate.
You may want to know about fork() in Linux to create child process.

fork() is the UNIX function for generating another thread in the same
program. It is not a standard library function. system(), which is
standard, is the interface to the command shell and can be used to create a
separate program.

Thank you for demonstrating why off-topic questions should be
redirected rather than answered here.

<OT>fork() does not create another thread in the same program; it
creates a new process. The new process runs a new instance of the
parent program.</OT>
