DESCRIPTION
embryo(1)
is an uncommited PSRP server which supports dynamic function and databag import and multithreading using
POSIX threads (see
pthreads(3)
). Functionality is added to the
embryo(1)
PSRP server using the
psrp(1)
and other PSRP interaction clients.
OPTIONS
-help
invokes the on-line context help system. This
"man" page is displayed. The process then exits.
-growth_protection
<retrys>
causes the system to retry an
sbrk(3)
call up to
retrys
times. This option permits the program to wait until the core that it requires
is available rather than simply exiting if
sbrk(3)
fails.
-usage
displays shortform usage string.
-version
displays program version number.
-slots
displays short form
pups(3)
library dependencies.
-slotinfo
displays long form
pups(3)
library dependencies.
-argf
argument_file
tells the filter to take its command line arguments from the specified
argument_file.
The data format of the argument file is:
# ... optional comment line ...
-argflag [1]
argument_parameter [1,1]
argument_parameter [1,2]
argument_parameter [1,n]
# ... optional comment line ...
-argflag [2]
argument_parameter [1,1]
argument_parameter [1,2]
argument_parameter [1,n]
-nice
cardinal
determimes the
niceness
at which the filter is scheduled. In keeping with all UNIX user processes, nice
must be a cardinal between 0 and 20. The default niceness for
embryo(1)
is 4.
SIGNALS
SIGUSR2 is used to support PSRP event handling
PSRP INTERACTIVITY
Supports interactive querying while running using Process Status Request Protocol [PSRP], see
psrp(1).
LIBRARIES

uses the PUPS libraries, see
