Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual

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.
pin
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 pin from 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.
Examples
These are examples of process file names that identify unnamed processes:

Process File Names for Named Processes
The syntax for a process file name that identifies a named process is:
[node.]process-name[:seq-no][.qual-1[.qual-2]]
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.
process-name
specifies the name of the process. A process name consists of a dollar sign ($) followed by
one to five alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
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 process-name from seq-no.
qual-1 and qual-2
are optional qualifiers. qual-1 consists of a pound sign (#) followed by one to seven
alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
qual-2 contains one to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be a letter.
