Synopsis

Provides functions to create and manage processes. The main set of functions lets you create, monitor, and end processes. A secondary function lets you run the current process as a background process.

List of Functions

• PROCESS process create full
  (PROCESS_DATA *procinfo);
• PROCESS process create
  (const char *file, char *argv [], const char *dir, const char *in, const char *out, const char *err, char *envv [], Bool wait);
• int process setinfo
  (PROCESS_DATA *procinfo, const char *in, const char *out, Bool scratch_out, const char *err, Bool scratch_err);
• int process open io
  (const char *filename, char access_type);
• void process close io
  (PROCESS_DATA *procinfo);
• int process status
  (PROCESS process_id);
• int process kill
  (PROCESS process_id);
• void process close
  (PROCESS process_id);
• int process server
  (const char *workdir, const char *lockfile, int argc, char *argv [], const char *sswitch []);
• Bool process alarm
  (long delay);
• char * process esc
  (char *dest, const char *src);
• char * process unesc
  (char *dest, const char *src);
• int process priority
  (int priority);
