;;; Unix wait & process objects for scsh ;;; Copyright (c) 1993, 1994, 1995 by Olin Shivers. ;;; This is a GC'd abstraction for Unix process id's. ;;; The problem with Unix pids is (a) they clutter up the kernel ;;; process table until you wait(2) them, and (b) you can only ;;; wait(2) them once. Scsh's process objects are similar, but ;;; allow the storage to be allocated in the scsh address space, ;;; and out of the kernel process table, and they can be waited on ;;; multiple times. ;;; Process objects ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (define-record proc ; A process object pid ; Proc's pid.
