Process Name and ID Formats

D-Series Process File Name Formats

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

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

The syntax for a process file name that identifies a named process is:

[node]process-name[:seq-no][.qual-l[.qual-2]]

node

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

consists of a backslash (\) followed by as many as seven alphanumeric characters;

the first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

cpu

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

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

specifies the PIN (process identification number) of the process. The value of pin is

from one through five digits representing a value in the range 0 through the

maximum value allowed for the processor.

seq-no

specifies the system-assigned sequence number of the process. The parameter

seq-no has a maximum of 13 digits. Any leading zeroes are suppressed.

process-name

specifies the name of the process. A process name consists of a dollar sign ($)

followed by as many as five alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric

character must be a letter.

qual-1 and qual-2

are optional qualifiers. The first qualifier consists of a pound sign (#) followed by as

many as seven alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric character must be a

letter.

The second qualifier contains from one through eight alphanumeric characters; the

first character must be a letter.
