| Boilerpipe Text | Methods of the Process class
process() - The process Constructor
Creates a child process.
run()
This method contains the code that is to be executed as a separate process. This method is similar to the
run()
method of the Thread class.
start()
Calling
start()
executes the run method of the process instance.
join()
When called on a process instance it blocks for the specified number of seconds or till the process on which it is called is complete.
is_alive()
Checks whether a process is alive or not and returns the status.
terminate()
Terminates the associated process.
kill()
Kills the associated process.
close()
Closes the process instance
Attributes of the Process class
name
The name of the process. It is not unique. Multiple processes can have the same name.
daemon
The daemon status of the process.
pid
Process ID of the process.
exitcode
Exit code of the terminated process.
authkey
The authentication key of the process
sentinel
The numeric handle of the process.
In Unix:
This handle can be passed into methods like
select()
, while waiting for an event.
In Windows:
This handle can be used for
waitforsingleobject()
and
waitformultipleobjects(). |
