.SH MODULE
pman \- A graphical process manager\&.

.LP
Starts Pman\&. It will use the previously saved trace settings in \fIHOME/\&.erlang_tools/pman\&.opts\fR, where \fIHOME\fR is the user\&'s home directory, if such a file exists\&. Otherwise standard trace settings will be used\&. The return value should be ignored\&.
.LP
\fIExcluded\fR is a list of module names\&. If the argument is present, processes currently executing in any of these modules will not be shown by Pman\&.
.LP
\fIstart/0, 1\fR will fail unless the start-up succeeds within 20 seconds, whereas \fIstart_notimeout/0, 1\fR will wait indefinitely\&.

.LP
Starts a Pman trace window for the specified process\&. The return value should be ignored\&.
.LP
The process to trace is given either by its pid or by its registered name\&. It is also possible to use \fIproc/3\fR to trace the pid represented as \fI<A, B, C>\fR\&.
