pid
pid(1T) Tcl Built-In Commands pid(1T)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
pid - Retrieve process identifiers
SYNOPSIS
pid ?fileId?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
If the fileId argument is given then it should normally refer to a process pipeline created with the open command. In this case the pid
command will return a list whose elements are the process identifiers of all the processes in the pipeline, in order. The list will be
empty if fileId refers to an open file that isn't a process pipeline. If no fileId argument is given then pid returns the process identi-
fier of the current process. All process identifiers are returned as decimal strings.
EXAMPLE
Print process information about the processes in a pipeline using the SysV ps program before reading the output of that pipeline:
set pipeline [open "| zcat somefile.gz | grep foobar | sort -u"]
# Print process information
exec ps -fp [pid $pipeline] >@stdout
# Print a separator and then the output of the pipeline
puts [string repeat - 70]
puts [read $pipeline]
close $pipeline
