F$GETJPI() can be used to get information about your own process or about any other process to which you have access. Normal rules of OpenVMS privilege apply: to get information about other processes within your UIC group, you need GROUP privilege; to get information about processes outside of your UIC group, you need WORLD privilege.

For information about the current process, specify the PID argument as a zero(0) as shown in the examples, or as a null string.
