+.SH NAME
+pid \- Retrieve process id(s)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBpid \fR?\fIfileId\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+If the \fIfileId\fR argument is given then it should normally
+refer to a process pipeline created with the \fBopen\fR command.
+In this case the \fBpid\fR command will return a list whose elements
+are the process identifiers of all the processes in the pipeline,
+in order.
+The list will be empty if \fIfileId\fR refers to an open file
+that isn't a process pipeline.
+If no \fIfileId\fR argument is given then \fBpid\fR returns the process
+identifier of the current process.
+All process identifiers are returned as decimal strings.
+
+.SH KEYWORDS
+file, pipeline, process identifier
