Expand description
Stable per-caller key. Identifies the process tree that invoked
vs so different shells / agents get different auto-sessions.
Key is <parent_pid>-<parent_start_time>. Parent start time
disambiguates PID reuse: even if the OS recycles a PID after a
parent exits, the new process has a different start time.
Functionsยง
- caller_
key - Return the stable caller key, or
Noneif either the parent PID could not be read (extremely rare; would mean the kernel refused to answer). The key is filename-safe: only digits and a single hyphen.
