Struct Pid 

pub struct Pid(/* private fields */);

Available on crate feature sys only.

Process ID.

This type provides type-safe process IDs. It uses the newtype pattern with #[repr(transparent)] for zero-cost abstraction.

Platform Differences

• Linux/Unix: PIDs are typically 32-bit unsigned integers
• Windows: PIDs are typically 32-bit unsigned integers

Special Values

• 0: Typically refers to the kernel or scheduler (may be invalid on some systems)
• 1: Typically the init process (or systemd on modern Linux)

Implementations

impl Pid

pub const MAX: u32 = 4_194_303

Available on Linux only.

Maximum valid PID value (platform-dependent, typically 2^31-1 or 2^32-1)

pub const fn new(value: u32) -> Result<Self, PidError>

Creates a new PID from a value.

Errors

Returns an error if the value is zero or exceeds the maximum.

pub const fn new_unchecked(value: u32) -> Self

Creates a new PID without validation.

Safety

The caller must ensure the value is a valid PID.

pub const fn as_u32(&self) -> u32

Returns the PID value.

pub const fn is_init(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is the init process (PID 1).

pub const fn is_system_process(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is likely a system process.

System processes typically have low PIDs (below 100 on most systems).

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Arbitrary<'a> for Pid

Available on crate feature arbitrary only.

fn arbitrary(u: &mut Unstructured<'a>) -> Result<Self>

Generate an arbitrary value of Self from the entirety of the given unstructured data.

fn size_hint(depth: usize) -> (usize, Option<usize>)

impl Clone for Pid

fn clone(&self) -> Pid

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Pid

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Pid

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for Pid

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl FromStr for Pid

type Err = PidError

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type.

impl Hash for Pid

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Pid

fn cmp(&self, other: &Pid) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

impl PartialEq for Pid

fn eq(&self, other: &Pid) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.
