- <p>Returns the creation of the local node as an integer.
+ <p>Returns the "creation" value of the local node as an integer.
The creation is changed when a node is restarted. The
creation of a node is stored in process identifiers, port
- identifiers, and references. This makes it (to some
- extent) possible to distinguish between identifiers from
- different incarnations of a node. The valid
- creations are integers in the range 1..3, but this will
- probably change in a future release. If the node is not
+ identifiers, and references. This makes it possible to distinguish
+ between identifiers from different incarnations of a node.
+ Creation values are currently 32-bit positive integers, but this
+ may change in future releases. If the node is not
alive, <c>0</c> is returned.</p>
