|

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|

.Cd "options PROCDESC"
|
||||
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is a file-descriptor-oriented interface to process signalling and control,
|
||||
which supplements historic
|
||||
.Ux
|
||||
.Xr fork 2 ,
|
||||
.Xr kill 2 ,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Xr wait4 2
|
||||
primitives with
|
||||
new system calls such as
|
||||
.Xr pdfork 2 ,
|
||||
.Xr pdkill 2 ,
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Xr pdwait4 2 .
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
is designed for use with
|
||||
.Xr capsicum 4 ,
|
||||
replacing process identifiers with capability-oriented references.
|
||||
However, it can also be used independently of
|
||||
.Xr capsicum 4 ,
|
||||
displacing PIDs, which may otherwise suffer from race conditions.
|
||||
Given a process descriptor, it is possible to query its conventional PID using
|
||||
.Xr pdgetpid 2 .
