pman
A graphical process manager.
A graphical tool used to inspect the Erlang processes executing either locally or on remote nodes. It is also possible to trace events in the individual processes.
Functions
start()
start(Excluded)
start_notimeout()
start_notimeout(Excluded)
Excluded = [Module]
Module = atom()
Starts Pman. It will use the previously saved trace settings
in HOME/.erlang_tools/pman.opts
, where HOME
is
the user's home directory, if such a file exists. Otherwise
standard trace settings will be used. The return value should
be ignored.
Excluded
is a list of module names. If the argument is
present, processes currently executing in any of these modules
will not be shown by Pman.
start/0,1
will fail unless the start-up succeeds
within 20 seconds, whereas start_notimeout/0,1
will
wait indefinitely.
proc(Process)
proc(A, B, C)
Process = pid() | atom()
A = B = C = integer()
Starts a Pman trace window for the specified process. The return value should be ignored.
The process to trace is given either by its pid or by its
registered name. It is also possible to use proc/3
to trace the pid represented as <A,B,C>
.
