## find-process

Arguments: string

Searches the processes on `*all-processes*` for one whose name contains the string argument, using case-insensitive search. If there is a unique process that satisfies the test then that process is returned. If there is no process that satisfies the test, `nil` is returned. If there are multiple processes that satisfy the test, an error is signaled.

find-process is designed for forms typed to a listener prompt, such as:

    (process-interrupt (find-process "just-enough") #'interrupter)

If find-process does not find a unique process or any process, it errors rather thsn possibly doing the wrong thing (errors at the top level are easily handled, find-process is not really designed to be used in application code).

See also process-name-to-process. See multiprocessing.htm for general information on multiprocessing.
