View Ref-File11.5.6.3  The directory U:\PROC                                    TOS

This directory gives an oveview of the processes currently active in 
the system. Each entry consists of the following components:

   . The process name
   . The process ID (PID)
   . The current memory usage
   . Date and time of creation of the process




In the above illustration, for instance, the process XCONTROL has the 
PID 4 and occupies 93460 bytes of memory at present.

Process IDs are allocated at program launch and released again on 
termination. The deletion of a file in this directory results in the 
corresponding process being destroyed (via the AES program manager).

Note: The MiNT-conform process attributes (special file attributes) 
are not supported by MagiC at present. The name of a process can be 
obtained also via the environmental variable _PNAM; the process ID is 
found also in the basepage.
