Struct BeamProcess 

pub struct BeamProcess {
    pub pid_sym: String,
    pub module: String,
    pub init_fn: String,
    pub init_args: Vec<BeamExpr>,
    pub linked: bool,
    pub monitored: bool,
    pub dictionary: Vec<(String, BeamExpr)>,
    pub trap_exit: bool,
}

Represents a BEAM process (actor) in the actor model.

BEAM processes are lightweight and communicate via asynchronous message passing through mailboxes.

Fields

pid_sym: String

Unique process identifier (symbolic)

module: String

Module where this process is defined

init_fn: String

Startup function name

init_args: Vec<BeamExpr>

Initial arguments

linked: bool

Whether this process is linked (crashes propagate)

monitored: bool

Whether this process is monitored

dictionary: Vec<(String, BeamExpr)>

Process dictionary entries (name → value)

trap_exit: bool

Trap-exit flag: catches EXIT signals as messages

Implementations

impl BeamProcess

pub fn new( pid_sym: impl Into<String>, module: impl Into<String>, init_fn: impl Into<String>, ) -> Self

pub fn linked(self) -> Self
