process only.Expand description
Process-associated operations.
Structs
CpuSet represents a bit-mask of CPUs.A Linux CPU ID.
PR_FPEMU_*.Zero means floating point exceptions are disabled.
gid_t—A Unix group ID.A result from
membarrier_query.pid_t—A non-zero Unix process ID.PR_PAC_AP*.This structure provides new memory descriptor map which mostly modifies
/proc/pid/stat[m]
output for a task.
This mostly done in a sake of checkpoint/restore functionality.PR_SPEC_*.Zero means the processors are not vulnerable.
uid_t—A Unix user ID.PR_UNALIGN_*.Options for modifying the behavior of wait/waitpid
the status of the child processes the caller waited on
Enums
SUID_DUMP_*.PR_ENDIAN_*.PR_FP_MODE_*.PR_MCE_KILL_*.A command for use with
membarrier and membarrier_cpu.Process ptracer.
A signal number for use with
kill_process and kill_process_group.PR_SPEC_*.PR_TSC_*.PR_TIMING_*.PR_SET_MM_*.Constants
EXIT_FAILURE for use with exit.The exit status used by a process terminated with
SIGABRT signal.EXIT_SUCCESS for use with exit.Functions
chdir(path)—Change the current working directory.Get the
child subreaper setting of the calling process.Put the process in the
IO_FLUSHER state, allowing it to make progress when
allocating memory.Enable or disable all performance counters attached to the calling process.
Set enabled pointer authentication keys.
Provides one-shot access to all the addresses by passing in a
PrctlMmMap.Sets the state of the speculation misfeature.
Get the current state of the calling process’s
dumpable attribute.Get enabled pointer authentication keys.
Get the endianness of the calling process.

Get floating point exception mode.
Get the current floating point mode.
getcwd()—Return the current working directory.getegid()—Returns the process’ effective group ID.geteuid()—Returns the process’ effective user ID.getgid()—Returns the process’ real group ID.getpgid(pid)—Returns the process group ID of the given process.getpgrp()—Returns the process’ group ID.getpid()—Returns the process’ ID.getppid()—Returns the parent process’ ID.getpriority(PRIO_PGRP, gid)—Get the scheduling priority of the given
process group.getpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, pid)—Get the scheduling priority of the given
process.getpriority(PRIO_USER, uid)—Get the scheduling priority of the given
user.getrlimit(resource)—Get a process resource limit value.getuid()—Returns the process’ real user ID.Get the
IO_FLUSHER state of the caller.kill(0, sig)—Sends a signal to all processes in the current process
group.kill(pid, sig)—Sends a signal to a process.kill(-pid, sig)—Sends a signal to all processes in a process group.Get the current per-process machine check kill policy.
membarrier(cmd, 0, 0)—Perform a memory barrier.membarrier(cmd, MEMBARRIER_CMD_FLAG_CPU, cpu)—Perform a memory barrier
with a specific CPU.membarrier(MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY, 0, 0)—Query the supported membarrier
commands.nice()—Adjust the scheduling priority of the current process.Get the current value of the parent process death signal.

Set the
child subreaper attribute of the calling process.Set the state of the
dumpable attribute, which determines whether the process can be traced
and whether core dumps are produced for the calling process upon delivery of a signal whose
default behavior is to produce a core dump.Set the endianness of the calling process.
Supersede the
/proc/pid/exe symbolic link with a new one pointing to a new executable file.Set floating point emulation control bits.
Set floating point exception mode.
Allow control of the floating point mode from user space.
Set the machine check memory corruption kill policy for the calling thread.
Set the parent-death signal of the calling process.
Declare that the ptracer process can
ptrace the calling process as if it were a direct
process ancestor.Set the state of the flag determining if the timestamp counter can be read by the process.
Set whether to use (normal, traditional) statistical process timing or accurate
timestamp-based process timing.
Set unaligned access control bits.

process group.setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, pid)—Get the scheduling priority of the given
process.setpriority(PRIO_USER, uid)—Get the scheduling priority of the given
user.setrlimit(resource, new)—Set a process resource limit value.setsid()—Create a new session.Get the state of the speculation misfeature.

PrctlMmMap the kernel expects.wait(waitopts)—Wait for any of the children of calling process to
change state.waitpid(pid, waitopts)—Wait for a specific process to change state.Type Definitions
