A process - group is a group of processes that can be accessed by a common - name. For example, a group named <c>foobar</c> can include a set - of processes as members of this group and they can be located on - different nodes.</p> - <p>When messages are sent to the named group, all members of - the group receive the message. The messages are serialized. If - the process <c>P1</c> sends the message <c>M1</c> to the group, - and process <c>P2</c> simultaneously sends message <c>M2</c>, then - all members of the group receive the two messages in the same - order. If members of a group terminate, they are automatically - removed from the group.</p> - <p>This module is not complete. The module is inspired by the ISIS - system and the causal order protocol of the ISIS system should - also be implemented. At the moment, all messages are serialized - by sending them through a group master process.</p> - </description> - <funcs> - <func> - <name name="create" arity="1"/> - <fsummary>Create an empty group</fsummary> - <desc> - <p>Creates an empty group named <c><anno>PgName</anno></c> on the current - node.</p> - </desc> - </func> - <func> - <name name="create" arity="2"/> - <fsummary>Create an empty group on another node</fsummary> - <desc> - <p>Creates an empty group named <c><anno>PgName</anno></c> on the node - <c><anno>Node</anno></c>.</p> - </desc> - </func> - <func> - <name name="join" arity="2"/> - <fsummary>Join a pid to a process group</fsummary> - <desc> - <p>Joins the pid <c><anno>Pid</anno></c> to the process group - <c><anno>PgName</anno></c>. - Returns a list of all old members of the group.</p> - </desc> - </func> - <func> - <name name="send" arity="2"/> - <fsummary>Send a message to all members of a process group</fsummary> - <desc> - <p>Sends the tuple <c>{pg_message, From, PgName, Msg}</c> to - all members of the process group <c><anno>PgName</anno></c>.</p> - <p>Failure: <c>{badarg, {<anno>PgName</anno>, <anno>Msg</anno>}}</c> - if <c><anno>PgName</anno></c> is - not a process group (a globally registered name).</p> - </desc> - </func> - <func> - <name name="esend" arity="2"/> - <fsummary>Send a message to all members of a process group, except ourselves</fsummary> - <desc> - <p>Sends the tuple <c>{pg_message, From, PgName, Msg}</c> to - all members of the process group <c><anno>PgName</anno></c>, except - ourselves.</p> - <p>Failure: <c>{badarg, {<anno>PgName</anno>, <anno>Msg</anno>}}</c> - if <c><anno>PgName</anno></c> is - not a process group (a globally registered name).</p> - </desc> - </func> - <func> - <name name="members" arity="1"/> - <fsummary>Return a list of all members of a process group</fsummary> - <desc> - <p>Returns a list of all members of the process group - <c>PgName</c>.</p> - </desc> - </func> - </funcs> -</erlref> - |
