NAME

       Proc::ProcessTable::Process - Perl process objects

SYNOPSIS

        $process->kill(9);
        $process->priority(19);
        $process->pgrp(500);
        $uid = $process->uid;
        ...

DESCRIPTION

       This is a stub module to provide OO process attribute access for Proc::ProcessTable.
       Proc::ProcessTable::Process objects are constructed directly by Proc::ProcessTable; there
       is no constructor method, only accessors.

METHODS

       kill
           Sends a signal to the process; just an aesthetic wrapper for perl's kill. Takes the
           signal (name or number) as an argument. Returns number of processes signalled.

       priority
           Get/set accessor; if called with a numeric argument, attempts to reset the process's
           priority to that number using perl's <B>setpriority function. Returns the process
           priority.

       pgrp
           Same as above for the process group.

       all other methods...
           are simple accessors that retrieve the process attributes for which they are named.
