如何找到OTP流程的主管?

数据隐藏在进程字典中(由 proc_lib )在入口下面 '$ancestors' :

1> proc_lib:spawn(fun() -> timer:sleep(infinity) end).
<0.33.0>
2> i(0,33,0).
[{current_function,{timer,sleep,1}},
 {initial_call,{proc_lib,init_p,3}},
 {status,waiting},
 {message_queue_len,0},
 {messages,[]},
 {links,[]},
 {dictionary,[{'$ancestors',[<0.31.0>]},
              {'$initial_call',{erl_eval,'-expr/5-fun-1-',0}}]},
 {trap_exit,false},
 {error_handler,error_handler},
 {priority,normal},
 {group_leader,<0.24.0>},
 {total_heap_size,233},
 {heap_size,233},
 {stack_size,6},
 {reductions,62},
 {garbage_collection,[{min_bin_vheap_size,46368},
                      {min_heap_size,233},
                      {fullsweep_after,65535},
                      {minor_gcs,0}]},
 {suspending,[]}]

{dictionary,[{'$ancestors',[<0.31.0>]}, .

请注意,这是你应该很少有任何理由使用自己的东西。据我所知,它主要用于处理监督树中的干净终止,而不是对您拥有的任何代码进行内省。小心处理。

一个更干净的方式来做的事情,而不打乱检察官的理智的内脏将是 . 对于那些会阅读您的代码的人来说,这应该不会太混乱。
