# process var (world)

Source: https://ref.dm-lang.org/world/var/process

This read-only variable indicates the ID of the server's process on the system running it. The result is a number, unless for some unexpected reason the number won't fit in a `num` type, in which case it will be text. (In practice it should always be a number.)
