| ChildProcess()ChildProcess("computer.ac.wales")ChildProcess(["-m", "100000M", "-T"])ChildProcess("computer.ac.wales", ["-m", "100000M", "-T"])This starts a GAP session as a child process and returns a stream to the child process. If no argument is given then the child process is created on the local machine; otherwise the argument should be: 1) the address of a remote computer for which ssh has been configured to require no password from the user; (2) or a list of GAP command line options; (3) or the address of a computer followed by a list of command line options. (To configure ssh so that the user can login without a password prompt from "thishost" to "remotehost" either consult "man ssh" or  | 
| ChildClose(s)This closes the stream s to a child GAP process. | 
| ChildCommand("cmd;",s)This runs a GAP command "cmd;" on the child process accessed by the stream s. Here "cmd;" is a string representing the command. | 
| NextAvailableChild(L)Inputs a list L of child processes and returns a child in L which is ready for computation (as soon as such a child is available). | 
| IsAvailableChild(s)Inputs a child process s and returns true if s is currently available for computations, and false otherwise. | 
| ChildPut(A,"B",s)This copies a GAP object A on the parent process to an object B on the child process s. (The copying relies on the function PrintObj(A); ) | 
| ChildGet("A",s)This functions copies a GAP object A on the child process s and returns it on the parent process. (The copying relies on the function PrintObj(A); ) | 
| HAPPrintTo("file",R)Inputs a name "file" of a new text file and a HAP object R. It writes the object R to "file". Currently this is only implemented for R equal to a resolution. | 
| HAPRead("file",R)Inputs a name "file" containing a HAP object R and returns the object. Currently this is only implemented for R equal to a resolution. |
