Process and Thread Syntax

You can specify a process in the following ways:

You can specify a thread in the following ways:

If you do not specify a process or thread with a command, the command will act on the current process or thread. To set the current process or thread, enter a process or thread specifier alone on a command line.

To display the state of the processes or threads, type pipeline (|) or tilde (~) alone on the command line.

In kernel debugging, threads represent the physical processors of the target computer: a two-processor computer would have two threads, one for each processor. The single process represents the target computer itself.
