Parameterspidthe pid of the process.
processa process handler.
def unregisterReapProcessHandler(pid, process): (source)

Unregister a process handler previously registered with registerReapProcessHandler.

def detectLinuxBrokenPipeBehavior(): (source)

On some Linux version, write-only pipe are detected as readable. This function is here to check if this bug is present or not.
