ProcessKit API Reference

Mechanism Type

Namespace: ProcessKit
Assembly: ProcessKit.dll
Base Type: obj
All Interfaces: IEquatable<Mechanism> , IStructuralEquatable

The OS primitive a `ProcessGroup` uses to contain a process tree. Reported honestly (never a silent downgrade) so callers can reason about the containment guarantee on the current platform.

Union cases

Union case	Description
`CgroupV2` Full Usage: `CgroupV2`	Linux cgroup v2. Resource limits apply to each child and every descendant it forks after it has been migrated into the cgroup. A child is migrated (its pid written to `cgroup.procs`) immediately after it is spawned; a descendant it forks in the brief window before that write completes is created in the parent cgroup and stays there, so it is covered by kill-on-drop teardown (the whole subtree is reaped) but not by the resource limits. If a child cannot be migrated at all, it is killed and reaped and the spawn fails with `ProcessError.ResourceLimit` rather than being left to run unconstrained.
`JobObject` Full Usage: `JobObject`	Windows Job Object.
`ProcessGroup` Full Usage: `ProcessGroup`	POSIX process group (macOS/BSD, or the Linux fallback).
