* Package name : liblinux-pid-perl Version : 0.04 Upstream Author : Rafael Garcia-Suarez <r...@consttype.org> * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Linux-Pid * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : wrapper around the getpid() and getppid() C functions Perl already returns the PID and PPID in variables and builtins. Linux::Pid forces perl to call the underlying C functions getpid() and getppid(). This is useful with multithreaded programs. Linux' C library, using the Linux thread model, returns different values of the PID and the PPID from different threads. A known consumer of this functionality is Apache2::SizeLimit (in libapache2-mod-perl2).
