Process File Names for Unnamed Processes

The syntax for a process file name that identifies an unnamed process is:

node

specifies the name of the node on which the process is running. A node name

consists of a backslash (\) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the

first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

cpu

specifies the processor number of the processor in which the process is running.

cpu is one or two digits representing a value in the range 0 through 15. A leading

zero must be suppressed. A colon (:) separates the dollar sign ($) from

cpu.

specifies the process identification number of the process. pin is one to five digits

representing a value in the range 0 through the maximum value allowed for the

processor. Leading zeros must be suppressed. A colon separates

cpu from pin.

seq-no

specifies the system-assigned sequence number of the process. seq-no has a

maximum of 13 digits. Leading zeros must be suppressed. A colon separates

from

seq-no

Example

The following are examples of process file names that identify unnamed processes:

$:2:850:5237743650

\la.$:6:210:2876350012

\west.$:6:138:3547235420

[node.]$:cpu:pin:seq-no

Note. The sequence number is mandatory for unnamed processes. The sequence

number cannot be removed from an unnamed process file name because a fatal error will

result.
