Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,

If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Process Command (Description)
◄Summary► ◄Example► ◄Notes► ◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back►
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Process (|) command displays the status of child processes or
switches to the debug session for a particular child process. To
use this command, you must start up the protected-mode CodeView
debugger (CVP.EXE) with the /O (Debug Multiple Processes) command-
line option. The /O option allows you to spawn a new CodeView
process for each child process that your program spawns.
See: ◄/O Command-Line Option►
To view the status of the child processes of the current process,
enter the Process command with no arguments. CodeView responds by
displaying three fields:
1. Process ID (PID) number
2. Session (screen group) ID number
3. Yes or No, depending on whether or not each process has its
own instance of CodeView
If a child process can be debugged, you can switch to that process
directly by using the Process command. To switch to the debugging
session for a child process, enter the Process command with the
syntax
|processID
where <processID> is the process ID of the process you want to
debug.
