Handling RAM limits

val physical_ram : unit -> int64

physical_ram ()

Returns the total amount of physical RAM in bytes.

val ram_limit_spec : Core.Std.Arg.t

ram_limit_spec command line arguments to set ram limits.

Signal handling

val wrap_block_signals : (unit -> 'a) -> 'a

wrap_block_signals f blocks all signals before execution of f, and restores them afterwards.

val ensure_at_exit : unit -> unit

ensure_at_exit (): catch all signals, run at_exit functions, then re-deliver the signal to self to ensure the default behavior. at_exit functions are honored only when terminating by exit, not by signals, so we need to do some tricks to get it run by signals too

val get_ppids : Core.Std.Pid.t -> Core.Std.Pid.t list option

get_ppids pid returns the list of parent pids, up to init (1) for pid.
