A part of [Concurrency concepts]. Under Unix at least, processes are the data construct used by the heart of the operating system when invoking a particular program.

[[tlist?]] Alternatively, use get_process_ids from the [TWAPI] package. ---- To obtain a ps(1)-like list of '''''Solaris or Linux''''' processes, use '''procfs.tcl''' from http://inferno.slug.org/tarballs/procfs.tcl [lavaps] ---- !!!!!! %| [Category Interprocess Communication] |% !!!!!!
