Posix Process Environment

getProcessID :: IO ProcessID
`getProcessID' calls `getpid' to obtain the `ProcessID' for the current process.
getParentProcessID :: IO ProcessID
`getProcessID' calls `getppid' to obtain the `ProcessID' for the parent of the current process.
getRealUserID :: IO UserID
`getRealUserID' calls `getuid' to obtain the real `UserID' associated with the current process.
getEffectiveUserID :: IO UserID
`getRealUserID' calls `geteuid' to obtain the effective `UserID' associated with the current process.
setUserID :: UserID -> IO ()
`setUserID uid' calls `setuid' to set the real, effective, and saved set-user-id associated with the current process to `uid'.
getLoginName :: IO String
`getLoginName' calls `getlogin' to obtain the login name associated with the current process.
getRealGroupID :: IO GroupID
`getRealGroupID' calls `getgid' to obtain the real `GroupID' associated with the current process.
getEffectiveGroupID :: IO GroupID
`getEffectiveGroupID' calls `getegid' to obtain the effective `GroupID' associated with the current process.
setGroupID :: GroupID -> IO ()
`setGroupID gid' calls `setgid' to set the real, effective, and saved set-group-id associated with the current process to `gid'.
getGroups :: IO [GroupID]
`getGroups' calls `getgroups' to obtain the list of supplementary `GroupID's associated with the current process.
getEffectiveUserName :: IO String
`getEffectiveUserName' calls `cuserid' to obtain a name associated with the effective `UserID' of the process.
getProcessGroupID :: IO ProcessGroupID
`getProcessGroupID' calls `getpgrp' to obtain the `ProcessGroupID' for the current process.
createProcessGroup :: ProcessID -> IO ProcessGroupID
`createProcessGroup pid' calls `setpgid' to make process `pid' a new process group leader.
joinProcessGroup :: ProcessGroupID -> IO ProcessGroupID
`joinProcessGroup pgid' calls `setpgid' to set the `ProcessGroupID' of the current process to `pgid'.
setProcessGroupID :: ProcessID -> ProcessGroupID -> IO ()
`setProcessGroupID pid pgid' calls `setpgid' to set the `ProcessGroupID' for process `pid' to `pgid'.
createSession :: IO ProcessGroupID
`createSession' calls `setsid' to create a new session with the current process as session leader.
systemName :: SystemID -> String
nodeName :: SystemID -> String
release :: SystemID -> String
version :: SystemID -> String
machine :: SystemID -> String

getSystemID :: IO SystemID
`getSystemID' calls `uname' to obtain information about the current operating system.
> epochTime :: IO EpochTime
`epochTime' calls `time' to obtain the number of seconds that have elapsed since the epoch (Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT 1970).
elapsedTime     :: ProcessTimes -> ClockTick
userTime        :: ProcessTimes -> ClockTick
systemTime      :: ProcessTimes -> ClockTick
childUserTime   :: ProcessTimes -> ClockTick
childSystemTime :: ProcessTimes -> ClockTick

getProcessTimes :: IO ProcessTimes
`getProcessTimes' calls `times' to obtain time-accounting information for the current process and its children.
getControllingTerminalName :: IO FilePath
`getControllingTerminalName' calls `ctermid' to obtain a name associated with the controlling terminal for the process. If a controlling terminal exists, `getControllingTerminalName' returns the name of the controlling terminal. The operation may fail with:
getTerminalName :: Fd -> IO FilePath
`getTerminalName fd' calls `ttyname' to obtain a name associated with the terminal for `Fd' `fd'. If `fd' is associated with a terminal, `getTerminalName' returns the name of the terminal. The operation may fail with:
queryTerminal :: Fd -> IO Bool
`queryTerminal fd' calls `isatty' to determine whether or not `Fd' `fd' is associated with a terminal.
getSysVar :: SysVar -> IO Limit
`getSysVar var' calls `sysconf' to obtain the dynamic value of the requested configurable system limit or option. For defined system limits, `getSysVar' returns the associated value. For defined system options, the result of `getSysVar' is undefined, but not failure. The operation may fail with:
