=head1 NAME

IPC::PidStat - Process ID existence test

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use IPC::PidStat;

  my $exister = new IPC::PidStat(
    port=>1234,
    );
  $exister->pid_request(host=>'foo', pid=>$pid)
  while (1) {  # Poll receiving callbacks
     my ($epid, $eexists, $ehostname) = $exister->recv_stat();
     print "Pid $epid ",($eexists?'exists':'dead'),"\n" if $ehostname;
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L allows remote requests to be made to the
L, to determine if a PID is running on the daemon's machine.

PidStat uses UDP, and as such results are fast but may be unreliable.
Furthermore, the pidstatd may not even be running on the remote machine,
so responses should never be required before an application program makes
progress.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item new ([parameter=>value ...]);

Creates a new object for later use.  See the PARAMETERS section.

=item pid_request (host=>$host, pid=>$pid);

Sends a request to the specified host's server to see if the specified PID
exists.

The optional parameters return_exist=>0, return_doesnt=>0 and
return_unknown=>0 improve performance by suppressing return messages if the
specified pid exists, doesn't exist, or has unknown state respectively.
Pidstatd versions before 1.480 ignore this flag, so the return code from
recv_stat should not assume the undesired return types will be suppressed.

=item pid_request_recv (host=>$host, pid=>$pid);

Calls pid_request and returns the recv_stat reply.  If the response fails
to return in one second, it is retried up to 5 times, then undef is
returned.

=item recv_stat()

Blocks waiting for any return from the server.  Returns undef if none is
found, or a 2 element array with the PID and existence flag.  Generally
this would be called inside a IO::Poll loop.

=back

=head1 STATIC METHODS

=over 4

=item local_pid_doesnt_exist()

Static call, not a method call.  Return 0 if a pid exists, 1 if not.
Return undef if it can't be determined.

=item local_pid_exists()

Static call, not a method call.  Return 1 if a pid exists, 0 if not.
Return undef if it can't be determined.

=back

=head1 PARAMETERS

=over 4

=item port

The port number (INET) of the pidstatd server.  Defaults to 'pidstatd'
looked up via /etc/services, else 1752.

=back

=head1 DISTRIBUTION
