| <B>pid </B>?<I>fileId</I>?<BR>
 | |
| <H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
 | |
| If the <I>fileId</I> argument is given then it should normally
 | |
| refer to a process pipeline created with the <B><A HREF="../TkCmd/open.htm">open</A></B> command.
 | |
| In this case the <B>pid</B> command will return a list whose elements
 | |
| are the process identifiers of all the processes in the pipeline,
 | |
| in order.
 | |
| The list will be empty if <I>fileId</I> refers to an open file
 | |
| that isn't a process pipeline.
 | |
| If no <I>fileId</I> argument is given then <B>pid</B> returns the process
 | |
| identifier of the current process.
 | |
| All process identifiers are returned as decimal strings.
