Very Computer

howdy all,

didn't see the FAQ (but i'm sure this is in there so pointers to the FAQ
are appropriate).

within a C program, how can i pull the PID of the current execution?

specifically for solaris 2.4/2.5, but if a general method exists, i'd be
interested also.

thanx.

I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of
 bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

The c.u.p faq is still in limbo; I took it over, but haven't started
posting it yet :-(

Pointers to the comp.unix.questions FAQ and the sockets FAQ are in the
[READ ME FIRST] weekly posting.
