.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.BR Getpid
|
||
|
|
returns
|
||
|
|
the process ID of
|
||
|
|
the calling process.
|
||
|
|
The ID is guaranteed to be unique and is
|
||
|
|
useful for constructing temporary file names.
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
Pids can range from zero (Kernel Null Process) to 32767. Some programs use
|
||
|
|
.BR getpid
|
||
|
|
to seed random number generators. A much better approach on the IIgs is
|
||
|
|
to use the horizontal and vertical positions fo the electron gun, which
|
||
|
|
can be obtained by reading the word value at absolute address 0xE0C02E.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
.BR Getppid
|
||
|
|
returns the process ID of the parent
|
||
|
|
of the calling process.
|
||
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|

||
|
|
.BR getpid
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.BR getppid
|
||
|
|
functions are always successful; no return value is reserved to
|
||
|
