Naming Actors

Every actor, whether it is a boot actor or a dynamically-loaded actor, is uniquely identified by an actor capability. When several ChorusOS operating systems are cooperating together over a network in a distributed system, these capabilities are always unique through space and time. An actor may identify itself with a predefined capability, for example:

K_MYACTOR.

In addition, an actor created from the POSIX personality is identified by a local process identifier.

host% rsh target hello
Started pid = 13
host% 

Where target is the name of your target.
