1 Hi all,
2
3 I know that PID's wrap around if they get to a sufficiently large number
4 - anyone know what that number is?
5
6 2^16 (65536), or 2^15 (32768)?
7
8 Is it fixed for a particular system / kernel / universe? or even better,
9 is there a #define I can use from one of the system headers?
10
11 thanks,
