pman(3erl)						     Erlang Module Definition							pman(3erl)

NAME
       pman - A graphical process manager.

DESCRIPTION
       A  graphical  tool used to inspect the Erlang processes executing either locally or on remote nodes. It is also possible to trace events in
       the individual processes.

EXPORTS
       start()
       start(Excluded)
       start_notimeout()
       start_notimeout(Excluded)

	      Types  Excluded = [Module]
		     Module = atom()

	      Starts Pman. It will use the previously saved trace settings in HOME/.erlang_tools/pman.opts , where HOME is the user's home  direc-
	      tory, if such a file exists. Otherwise standard trace settings will be used. The return value should be ignored.

	      Excluded	is  a  list of module names. If the argument is present, processes currently executing in any of these modules will not be
	      shown by Pman.

	      start/0,1 will fail unless the start-up succeeds within 20 seconds, whereas start_notimeout/0,1 will wait indefinitely.

       proc(Process)
       proc(A, B, C)

	      Types  Process = pid() | atom()
		     A = B = C = integer()

	      Starts a Pman trace window for the specified process. The return value should be ignored.

	      The process to trace is given either by its pid or by its registered name. It is also possible to use proc/3 to trace the pid repre-
	      sented as <A,B,C> .
