    Returns the current high-resolution real time in a [seconds, nanoseconds] tuple Array.

    Returns the current high-resolution real time in a [seconds, nanoseconds] tuple Array. It is relative to an arbitrary time in the past. It is not related to the time of day and therefore not subject to clock drift. The primary use is for measuring performance between intervals.

    Reads /etc/group and initializes the group access list, using all groups of which the user is a member.

    Reads /etc/group and initializes the group access list, using all groups of which the user is a member. This is a privileged operation, meaning you need to be root or have the CAP_SETGID capability.

  48. def kill(pid: Int, signal: |[String, Int] = js.native): Unit

    Send a signal to a process.

    Send a signal to a process. pid is the process id and signal is the string describing the signal to send. Signal names are strings like SIGINT or SIGHUP. If omitted, the signal will be SIGTERM. See Signal Events and kill(2) for more information.

    Will throw an error if target does not exist, and as a special case, a signal of 0 can be used to test for the existence of a process. Windows platforms will throw an error if the pid is used to kill a process group.

    Note that even though the name of this function is process.kill, it is really just a signal sender, like the kill system call. The signal sent may do something other than kill the target process.

    Example:

    1. process.kill(pid[, signal])

  51. def mainModule: UndefOr[Any]

    Alternate way to retrieve require.main.

    Alternate way to retrieve require.main. The difference is that if the main module changes at runtime, require.main might still refer to the original main module in modules that were required before the change occurred. Generally it's safe to assume that the two refer to the same module.

    As with require.main, it will be undefined if there was no entry script.

  52. def memoryUsage(): MemoryUsage

    Returns an object describing the memory usage of the Node.js process measured in bytes.

    Once the current event loop turn runs to completion, call the callback function.

    This is not a simple alias to setTimeout(fn, 0), it's much more efficient. It runs before any additional I/O events (including timers) fire in subsequent ticks of the event loop.

    Adds the listener function to the end of the listeners array for the event named eventName. No checks are made to see if the listener has already been added. Multiple calls passing the same combination of eventName and listener will result in the listener being added, and called, multiple times.

    Returns a reference to the EventEmitter so calls can be chained.

    1. emitter.on(eventName, listener)

    Adds a one time listener function for the event named eventName. This listener is invoked only the next time eventName is triggered, after which it is removed.

  69. def removeAllListeners(eventName: String = js.native): Process.this.type

    Removes all listeners, or those of the specified eventName.

    Removes all listeners, or those of the specified eventName.

    Note that it is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code, particularly when the EventEmitter instance was created by some other component or module (e.g. sockets or file streams).

    Returns a reference to the EventEmitter so calls can be chained.

    Definition Classes
    IEventEmitter
    Example:

    1. emitter.removeAllListeners([eventName])

  70. def removeListener(eventName: String, listener: Function): Process.this.type

    Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event named eventName.

    Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event named eventName. removeListener will remove, at most, one instance of a listener from the listener array. If any single listener has been added multiple times to the listener array for the specified eventName, then removeListener must be called multiple times to remove each instance.

    Note that once an event has been emitted, all listeners attached to it at the time of emitting will be called in order. This implies that any removeListener() or removeAllListeners() calls after emitting and before the last listener finishes execution will not remove them from emit() in progress. Subsequent events will behave as expected.

    Definition Classes
    IEventEmitter
    Example:

    1. emitter.removeListener(eventName, listener)

  76. def send(message: Any, sendHandle: SendHandle, options: TransferOptions, callback: Function = js.native): Boolean

    When Node.js is spawned with an IPC channel attached, it can send messages to its parent process using process.send().

    When Node.js is spawned with an IPC channel attached, it can send messages to its parent process using process.send(). Each will be received as a 'message' event on the parent's ChildProcess object.

    Note: this function uses JSON.stringify() internally to serialize the message. If Node.js was not spawned with an IPC channel, process.send() will be undefined.

    Example:

    1. process.send(message[, sendHandle[, options]][, callback])

  77. def setMaxListeners(n: Int): Process.this.type

    By default EventEmitters will print a warning if more than 10 listeners are added for a particular event.

    By default EventEmitters will print a warning if more than 10 listeners are added for a particular event. This is a useful default that helps finding memory leaks. Obviously, not all events should be limited to just 10 listeners. The emitter.setMaxListeners() method allows the limit to be modified for this specific EventEmitter instance. The value can be set to Infinity (or 0) for to indicate an unlimited number of listeners.

    Returns a reference to the EventEmitter so calls can be chained.

    Example:

    1. emitter.setMaxListeners(n)

  78. def setegid(id: |[String, Int]): Unit

    Sets the effective group identity of the process.

    Sets the effective group identity of the process. This accepts either a numerical ID or a groupname string. If a groupname is specified, this method blocks while resolving it to a numerical ID.

    Example:

    1. process.setegid(id)

    Since

    2.0.0

  79. def seteuid(id: |[String, Int]): Unit

    Sets the effective user identity of the process.

    Sets the effective user identity of the process. This accepts either a numerical ID or a username string. If a username is specified, this method blocks while resolving it to a numerical ID.

    Example:

    1. process.seteuid(id)

  80. def setgid(id: |[String, Int]): Unit

    Sets the group identity of the process.

    Sets the group identity of the process. This accepts either a numerical ID or a groupname string. If a groupname is specified, this method blocks while resolving it to a numerical ID.

    Example:

    1. process.setgid(id)

  81. def setgroups(groups: |[|[Array[Int], Array[String]], Array[|[String, Int]]]): Unit

    Sets the supplementary group IDs.

    Sets the supplementary group IDs. This is a privileged operation, meaning you need to be root or have the CAP_SETGID capability. The list can contain group IDs, group names or both.

    Example:

    1. process.setgroups(groups)

  82. def setuid(id: |[String, Int]): Unit

    Sets the user identity of the process.

    Sets the user identity of the process. This accepts either a numerical ID or a username string. If a username is specified, this method blocks while resolving it to a numerical ID.

    Example:

    1. process.setuid(id)

  83. def stderr: WriteStream

    process.stderr and process.stdout are unlike other streams in Node.js in that they cannot be closed (end() will throw), they never emit the finish event and that writes can block when output is redirected to a file (although disks are fast and operating systems normally employ write-back caching so it should be a very rare occurrence indeed.)

  84. def stdin: ReadStream

    A Readable Stream for stdin (on fd 0).

  85. def stdout: WriteStream

    process.stderr and process.stdout are unlike other streams in Node.js in that they cannot be closed (end() will throw), they never emit the finish event and that writes can block when output is redirected to a file (although disks are fast and operating systems normally employ write-back caching so it should be a very rare occurrence indeed.)

    Getter/setter to set what is displayed in ps. When used as a setter, the maximum length is platform-specific and probably short. On Linux and OS X, it's limited to the size of the binary name plus the length of the command line arguments because it overwrites the argv memory. v0.8 allowed for longer process title strings by also overwriting the environ memory but that was potentially insecure/confusing in some (rather obscure) cases.
