NAME

       pman - A graphical process manager.

DESCRIPTION

   Warning:
       The Pman application has been superseded by the Observer application. Pman will be removed in R16.

       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 directory, 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 represented as <A,B,C>.
