rpc-process-pool

Arguments: &key limit drop active query flush forget show

This function is used to query and to manage the process pool maintained by the Allegro CL RPC Module. Each new in-bound remote call (a call that is not a callback from an out-bound call) is evaluated in a new Lisp process. In the os-threads model of Lisp multi-processing (see multiprocessing.htm), there is some overhead associated with the creation of a new Lisp process. The process pool reduces this overhead by re-using processes.

The keyword arguments are:

Possible values for the query argument

If the value of the query argument is one of the listed keywords, rpc-process-pool returns information about the process pool and the status of processes, as described. If the value of the query argument is nil or omitted, rpc-process-pool returns nil.
