proc_unref - release a reference to a process
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.22. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME proc_unref - release a reference to a process SYNOPSIS #include <sys/ddi.h> void proc_unref(void *pref); Arguments pref Identifier obtained by a previous call to proc_ref(D3). DESCRIPTION The proc_unref function can be used to release a reference to a process identified by the parameter pref. Return Values None USAGE There must be a matching call to proc_unref for every previous call to proc_ref(D3). Processes can exit even though they are referenced by drivers. In this event, reuse of pref will be deferred until all driver references are given up. Level Base or Interrupt. Synchronization Constraints Does not sleep. Driver-defined basic locks, read/write locks, and sleep locks may be held across calls to this function. REFERENCES proc_ref(D3), proc_signal(D3)
