man pidfile () - create a file containing the process id of the current process.

NAME

pidfile - create a file containing the process id of the current process.

Abz Library (-labz), Debug Library (-ldebug)

#include <abz/pidfile.h>

int pidfile(const char *filename");

The pidfile() function creates a file containing the process id of the current process.

The pidfile() function returns 0 if successful, -1 if not.

Check errno to see what error occurred.

None of the libabz routines are thread-safe. I'm not planning to change this either! For more information, please see http://threading.2038bug.com/
