Important: The process package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package Threads instead.

The process package provides commands to allow one to write a limited class of multi-process Maple programs.

Each command in the process package can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the command calling sequence.

As the underlying implementation of the process package is a module, it is also possible to use the form process:-command to access a command from the package. For more information,  see Module Members.

The process package is supported only on UNIX and UNIX-compatible operating systems. Note: The launch command in the process package is supported on both Windows and UNIX operating systems.

The following is a list of available commands.

To display the help page for a particular process command, see Getting Help with a Command in a Package.
