    public class OtpErlangPid

extends OtpErlangObject
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<java.lang.Object>

Provides a Java representation of Erlang PIDs. PIDs represent Erlang processes and consist of a nodename and a number of integers.

Constructor Detail

### OtpErlangPid

    @Deprecated
    public OtpErlangPid(OtpLocalNode self)

  Deprecated. use OtpLocalNode:createPid() instead

  Create a unique Erlang PID belonging to the local node.

  Parameters:
    `self` - the local node.

### OtpErlangPid

    public OtpErlangPid(OtpInputStream buf)
                 throws OtpErlangDecodeException

  Create an Erlang PID from a stream containing a PID encoded in Erlang external format.

  Parameters:
    `buf` - the stream containing the encoded PID.
  Throws:
    `OtpErlangDecodeException` - if the buffer does not contain a valid external representation of an Erlang PID.

### OtpErlangPid

    public OtpErlangPid(java.lang.String node,
                        int id,
                        int serial,
                        int creation)

  Create an Erlang pid from its components.

  Parameters:
    `node` - the nodename.
    `id` - an arbitrary number. Only the low order 15 bits will be used.
    `serial` - another arbitrary number. Only the low order 13 bits will be used.
    `creation` - yet another arbitrary number. Only the low order 2 bits will be used.

Method Detail

### serial

    public int serial()

  Get the serial number from the PID.

  Returns:
    the serial number from the PID.

### id

    public int id()

  Get the id number from the PID.

  Returns:
    the id number from the PID.

### creation

    public int creation()

  Get the creation number from the PID.

  Returns:
    the creation number from the PID.

### node

    public java.lang.String node()

  Get the node name from the PID.

  Returns:
    the node name from the PID.

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Get the string representation of the PID. Erlang PIDs are printed as #Pid<node.id.serial>

  Specified by:
    `toString` in class `OtpErlangObject`
  Returns:
    the string representation of the PID.

### encode

    public void encode(OtpOutputStream buf)

  Convert this PID to the equivalent Erlang external representation.

  Specified by:
    `encode` in class `OtpErlangObject`
  Parameters:
    `buf` - an output stream to which the encoded PID should be written.

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

  Determine if two PIDs are equal. PIDs are equal if their components are equal.

  Specified by:
    `equals` in class `OtpErlangObject`
  Parameters:
    `port` - the other PID to compare to.
  Returns:
    true if the PIDs are equal, false otherwise.

### doHashCode

    protected int doHashCode()

  Overrides:
    `doHashCode` in class `OtpErlangObject`

### compareTo

    public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

  Specified by:
    `compareTo` in interface `java.lang.Comparable<java.lang.Object>`
