Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Process Naming

[Dave NotTelling]

I can see that the threads are showing up with meaningful names using `top -H`.  Names like `zmq_pub_sink_c1`.  The `ps` command doesn't usually show me anything special :(  But, `top -H` does which is nice.

How are processes named in GNU Radio?  I assumed they took on the ID of the block.  But testing has showed that not to be the case.  I was hoping to be able to see CPU usage of my blocks by running `top -H` and looking at the process names.  I also tried setting the block alias but that did nothing to the process name (not even sure what it's for honestly).  Is this doable?

Thanks!

Gnu Radio calls set_pthread_name(), but this isn't necessarily reflected in the data that any given implementation of "ps" pulls out of /proc and/or the kernel.
