Process management
The process management subsystem
controls all the actions of
processes, including lightweight processes.
The process management subsystem schedules and synchronizes processes,
keeping them separate and keeping them from running into each
other.
The process management subsystem
also manages interprocess communication (IPC),
allowing processes to communicate only in ways for which
they have proper authorization.
