LPATTACH(2)		       LAM LOCAL LIBRARY		   LPATTACH(2)

NAME
       lpattach,  lpdetach  - Attach, detach a LAM process from remote process
       management.

SYNOPSIS
       int lpattach (char *name);
       int lpdetach (int pid, int status);

DESCRIPTION
       Remote process management allows a process to be selected by other pro‐
       cesses  throughout  the multicomputer for control or monitoring in such
       functions as rpdoom(2), rpstate(2) and rpspawn(2).

       The name argument helps identify the process.  It is useful  to	choose
       the  program  name,  as	found in argv[0], for this argument.  The name
       will be seen in the output of  the  state(1)  command.	lpattach()  is
       called by kenter(2) and is not typically called directly.

       The  function  lpdetach()  makes	 a  LAM process inaccessible to remote
       process management and should be called just prior to process  termina‐
       tion.   The  status  argument  is an exit code.	If a parent process is
       waiting for the calling process to terminate, lpdetach() will pass  the
       termination  status  back  to  the  parent.   lpdetach()	 is  called by
       kexit(2) and is not typically called directly.

       The pid argument makes it possible for one process  to  remove  another
       from  remote  process  management.   This  is  intended as an emergency
       clean-up measure.  The normal value for this argument is 0, which indi‐
       cates the action is to be taken on the calling process.

ERRORS
       ENOPDESCRIPTORS	   The remote process descriptor table is full.

       ENOTPROCESS	   The	process whose process identifier was passed to
			   lpdetach() is not currently being managed.
