Actually, Bengt, that is *exactly* what I would like. Great suggestion.<br>Ed<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 3:07 AM, Bengt Kleberg <<a href="mailto:bengt.kleberg@ericsson.com">bengt.kleberg@ericsson.com</a>> wrote:<br>

There is probably a reason for process_info/1 being restricted to<br>
debugging (it might not be possible to interrupt and takes too much<br>
time?). Adding 'all' to process_info/2 should turn it into<br>
process_info/1 (or a super set of it) and make it as ''bad''.<br>
What you probably want is process_info_available/0 which returns a list<br>
of atoms.<br>
