PROCESSSTRING_SCAN_ Procedure
Considerations
•
A process string is a string of characters that identifies a process or a set of
processes. Process strings are commonly used in command lines (for example, in
the TACL STATUS command). PROCESSSTRING_SCAN_ accepts process
strings in the following forms:
[\node.]cpu,pin
[\node.]cpu
[\node.]$process-name
[\node.]*
•
If you request the processhandle, PROCESSSTRING_SCAN_ verifies that the
process exists. If the process does not exist, a null process handle (-1 in each
word) is returned. If you supply a process name that represents an existing
process pair, the returned process handle is that of the current primary.
