3. Information about the perl-Linux-Pid package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package perl-Linux-Pid:
---------------------------------------

Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE

Source package : perl-Linux-Pid-0.04-3.38.src

Summary : Get the native PID and the PPID on Linux
Description :
Why should one use a module to get the PID and the PPID of a process where
there are the '$$' variable and the 'getppid()' builtin ? (Not mentioning
the equivalent 'POSIX::getpid()' and 'POSIX::getppid()' functions.)
In fact, this is useful on Linux, with multithreaded programs. Linux' C
library, using the linux thread model, returns different values of the PID
and the PPID from different threads. (Other thread models such as NPTL
don't have the same behaviour). This module forces perl to call the
underlying C functions 'getpid()' and 'getppid()'.
