Functions

func Read

func Read(path string) (pid int, err error)

Read reads the "PID file" at path, and returns the PID if it contains a valid PID of a running process, or 0 otherwise. It returns an error when failing to read the file, or if the file doesn't exist, but malformed content is ignored. Consumers should therefore check if the returned PID is a non-zero value before use.

func Write

func Write(path string, pid int) error

Write writes a "PID file" at the specified path. It returns an error if the file exists and contains a valid PID of a running process, or when failing to write the file.
