why NSTask is Process on Apple platforms but it's Task on Linux?

MrBee · 2016-11-27T05:42:34.000Z

Hi all,
It took me a few hours to find out why Process is unknown on Linux while it's available on macOS/iOS. Turned out, it's still called Task. Why is that? Is there anything like this on Swift Standard Library and Foundation for Linux?
Thank you.

Looks like that renaming didn’t get updated correctly on swift-corelibs-foundation. I filed - [SR-3279] NSTask was incorrectly renamed to Task instead of Process · Issue #3912 · apple/swift-corelibs-foundation · GitHub

Mr Bee,

My best guest is that it is NSTask on MacOS because the class contains some Mac-specific stuff, enough to justify the distinction.

Thank you.
It also seems wrong on the (online) documentation. NSTask is available on objective C, but when I choose Swift, it shows the Process reference (though the content is actually similar since Process is actually NSTask).
