A mp:process, or nil.

Description

The function get-current-process returns the actual process in which it is called. In this respect it differs from *current-process*, which can be bound to another process. In particular, when a process A calls the wait-function of process B, in the wait-function get-current-process returns the process A, but *current-process* is bound to process B.

result is nil if multiprocessing is off.
