# Apache2::Process(3pm)

Perl API for Apache process record

## NAME

Apache2::Process - Perl API for Apache process record

## Synopsis

```
  use Apache2::Process ();
  use Apache2::ServerRec ();
  my $proc = $s->process;

  # global pool cleared on exit
  my $global_pool = $proc->pool;

  # configuration pool cleared on restart
  my $pconf = $proc->pconf;

  # short program name (e.g. httpd)
  my $proc_name = $proc->short_name;
```

## Description

`"Apache2::Process"` provides the API for the Apache process object, which you can retrieve with `"$s->process"`:

```
  use Apache2::ServerRec ();
  $proc = $s->process;
```

## API

`"Apache2::Process"` provides the following functions and/or methods:

### "pconf"

Get configuration pool object.

```
  $p = $proc->pconf();
```

- obj: $proc ( "Apache2::Process object" )

  - ret: $p ( "APR::Pool object" )

  This pool object gets cleared on server restart.

### "pool"

```
  $p = $proc->pool();
```
