PROCESS_SPAWN_
Creates a new Open System Services (OSS) process and, optionally, assigns a number of
process attributes. You can use this procedure to create only OSS processes, although
you can call it from either a Guardian process or an OSS process. To create a Guardian
process, call the PROCESS_CREATE_ procedure.
For more information about the PROCESS_SPAWN function, refer to the Open System
Services System Calls Reference Manual.
PROCESS_STOP_
Deletes a process or a process pair and sends a process deletion system message to the
mom of the process and to any other process that is entitled to receive the message.
