public interface MUserProcess

This interface describes a user-process within MOSS. Anything that wants to run with the capabilities of a regular process must implement this. Kernel-only processes implement the MKernelProcess interface.

Method Summary

int	main(java.lang.String[] argv, MEnv envp) process entry-point
void	signal(int signo, java.lang.Object sigdata) method provided to handle signals (when a process asks for them)

Method Detail

main

int main(java.lang.String[] argv,
         MEnv envp)

Parameters:

argv - "command-line" arguments. Traditionally, argv[0] is the executable path/name

envp - process environment

Returns:

process exit-code. Traditionally, 0 for success and 1 for failure.

signal

void signal(int signo,
            java.lang.Object sigdata)

method provided to handle signals (when a process asks for them)

Parameters:

signo - signal number

sigdata - signal-specific data (only some signals)
