std::runtime::posix::process

Source: std/runtime/posix/process.slk

This is the exact canonical documentation page for std::runtime::posix::process.

Role#

std::runtime::posix::process is an implementation-facing runtime module in the shipped std/** tree. It exists so higher-level stdlib surfaces can delegate platform or runtime-specific behavior without changing their public module names.

Canonical Context#

Use the following owning docs for the substantive API/design context for this module:

• runtime
• process

Notes#

• The shipped source for this module is std/runtime/posix/process.slk.
• The canonical module name is std::runtime::posix::process.
• It binds the hosted silk_rt_process_executable_path_owned helper for platform executable-path queries.
• It binds the POSIX geteuid(2) operation with the hosted uid_t ABI width (u32) used by std::process::effective_user_id. The higher runtime layer widens that value to the public u64 identity type.
• It binds setpgid(2) for the higher runtime layer's child-only process-group setup. Raw group selection remains an implementation detail and is not part of the high-level child API.
• This page is intentionally implementation-oriented. Downstream users should usually start with the higher-level std module docs listed above unless they are working on the runtime layer itself.
