"The Windows port so far used process handles as PID. However, this is not consistent with what getpid returns. PIDs are system-global identifiers, but process handles are local to a process. Using PIDs instead of process handles allows for instance a user to kill a hung process with the Task Manager, something that would have been impossible with process handles." -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
