get-process

Returns a process corresponding to a supplied designator.

get-process process-designator => process

process-designator⇩

A mp:process, a string, a stack-group, a function, a symbol or a fixnum.

process

A mp:process.

The function get-process returns a process according to the supplied process-designator, which is interpreted as follows:

`mp:process`	Return it.
A string	Find the first process (highest priority) with matching name. Process names are compared by string=.
A stack-group	Return the process of the stack-group.
A function	Return the first process that has `process-designator` as its function (that is, the third argument of process-run-function).
A symbol	First search for a process using the symbol name as a string, and (if that fails) then search using the symbol as a function.
A fixnum	Find a process for which `process-designator` is its unique id. The unique id of the current process can be found by `(sys:current-thread-unique-id)`.

result is nil if multiprocessing is off.
