-Description: unknown
- Why should one use a module to get the PID and the PPID of a process where
- there are the $$ variable and the getppid() builtin ? (Not mentioning the
- equivalent POSIX::getpid() and POSIX::getppid() functions.)
+Depends: ${misc:Depends},

+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().
.
- In fact, this is useful on Linux, with multithreaded programs. Linux' C
- library, using the linux thread model, returns different values of the PID
- and the PPID from different threads. (Other thread models such as NPTL don't
- have the same behaviour). 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.
.
- This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl.
+ A known consumer of this functionality is Apache2::SizeLimit (in
+ libapache2-mod-perl2).
