  • Basic usage
• PCNTL Functions
  • pcntl_alarm — Set an alarm clock for delivery of a signal
  • pcntl_async_signals — Enable/disable asynchronous signal handling or return the old setting
  • pcntl_errno — Alias of pcntl_get_last_error
  • pcntl_exec — Executes specified program in current process space
  • pcntl_fork — Forks the currently running process
  • pcntl_get_last_error — Retrieve the error number set by the last pcntl function which failed
  • pcntl_getpriority — Get the priority of any process
  • pcntl_rfork — Manipulates process resources
  • pcntl_setpriority — Change the priority of any process
  • pcntl_signal_dispatch — Calls signal handlers for pending signals
  • pcntl_signal_get_handler — Get the current handler for specified signal
  • pcntl_signal — Installs a signal handler
  • pcntl_sigprocmask — Sets and retrieves blocked signals
  • pcntl_sigtimedwait — Waits for signals, with a timeout
  • pcntl_sigwaitinfo — Waits for signals
  • pcntl_strerror — Retrieve the system error message associated with the given errno
  • pcntl_unshare — Dissociates parts of the process execution context
  • pcntl_wait — Waits on or returns the status of a forked child
  • pcntl_waitpid — Waits on or returns the status of a forked child
  • pcntl_wexitstatus — Returns the return code of a terminated child
  • pcntl_wifexited — Checks if status code represents a normal exit
  • pcntl_wifsignaled — Checks whether the status code represents a termination due to a signal
  • pcntl_wifstopped — Checks whether the child process is currently stopped
  • pcntl_wstopsig — Returns the signal which caused the child to stop
  • pcntl_wtermsig — Returns the signal which caused the child to terminate
