Tags provide uniqueness for messages, so that they can be matched with their response.

Generates unique Tag for messages and response pairs. Each process that depends, directly or indirectly, on the call mechanisms in Control.Distributed.Process.Global.Call should have at most one TagPool on which to draw unique message tags.

Create a new per-process source of unique message identifiers.

Extract a new identifier from a TagPool.

Class of things to which a Process can link itself.

Class of things that can be killed (or instructed to exit).

Class of things that can be resolved to a ProcessId.

Class of things that you can route/send serializable message to

A simple means of mapping to a receiver.

Used internally in whereisOrStart. Sent as (RegisterSelf,ProcessId).

A synchronous version of whereis, this monitors the remote node and returns Nothing if the node goes down (since a remote node failing or being non-contactible has the same effect as a process not being registered from the caller's point of view).

resolve the Resolvable or die with specified msg plus details of what didn't resolve

Wait cancellation message.

Simple representation of a channel.

A ubiquitous shutdown signal that can be used to maintain a consistent shutdown/stop protocol for any process that wishes to handle it.

Provides a reason for process termination.

Given when a server is unobtainable.

Introduces a class that brings NFData into scope along with Serializable, such that we can force evaluation. Intended for use with the UnsafePrimitives module (which wraps Control.Distributed.Process.UnsafePrimitives), and guarantees evaluatedness in terms of NFData. Please note that we cannot guarantee that an NFData instance will behave the same way as a Binary one with regards evaluation, so it is still possible to introduce unexpected behaviour by using unsafe primitives in this way.
