pid of the current proc

[Jeff]

Is there any way of intuiting the pid of the current process?  If not, Lutz, is it possible to add this?

[Lutz]

This is the pid of the newLISP process you are in:

> (import "libc.dylib" "getpid")
getpid <951021A4>
> (getpid)

On other Unix the library is: libc.so

Thanks, Lutz.

[Lutz]

Here are more functions you can import from libc:

Auch!.. Yes thisone I would like to have as a newlisp variable too..



..like "ostype" you could request "main-pid" very handy instead of calling

the library's all the time (which is no problem ofcourse but more

a cosmetic issue..)

newLISP v.9.3.4 on OSX IPv4 UTF-8, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.
