## process-name-to-process

Arguments: name &key abbrev (error t)

This function returns the process whose process-name is name. name must be a string or a symbol, in which case the print-name is used. If the abbrev keyword argument is specified true, then name is matched to the beginning of each process-name to find a match. The abbrev argument defaults to `nil`.

If abbrev is true and there are multiple processes whose names start with abbrev, two values are returned: one of the processes found and `t`.

If no process is found whose name is name (or, if abbrev is true, whose name begins with name), an error is signaled if error is unspecified or true, and `nil` is returned if error is specified `nil`.

See also find-process. See multiprocessing.htm for general information on multiprocessing in Allegro CL.
