23 The Process Browser

The Process Browser allows you to view and control the processes in the LispWorks multiprocessing model. See the LispWorks User Guide and Reference Manual for more information about multiprocessing.

Note: Each individual window in the LispWorks IDE runs as a distinct process in the LispWorks multiprocessing model. Each of these is implemented as a Windows lightweight process

To create a Process Browser, choose Tools > Process Browser or click in the Podium.

Figure 23.1 The Process Browser

The Process Browser consists of a main area in which all the current processes in the environment are listed, and a Filter area which you can use to restrict the information displayed in the main area.

Like other filter areas, you can enter a string or a regular expression in the Filter to limit the display to only those items which match your input, or the complement of this. See Filtering information for more information about using the Filter area.

Figure 23.2 Process browser
