Can someone explain the structure of a Pid in Erlang?
问题 Can someone explain the structure of a Pid in Erlang? Pids looks like this : <A.B.C> , e.g. <0.30.0> , but i would like to know what is the meaning of these three "bits" : A, B and C. 'A' seems to be always 0 on a local node, but this value changes when the Pid's owner is located on another node. Is it possible to directly send a message on a remote node using only the Pid ? Something like that : <4568.30.0> ! Message , without having to explicitely specify the name of the registered process
