125#TODO monitor the given port 152Kill the specified port with the given C<@reason>.
153
154If no C<@reason> is specified, then the port is killed "normally" (linked
155ports will not be kileld, or even notified).
156
157Otherwise, linked ports get killed with the same reason (second form of
158C<mon>, see below).
159
160Runtime errors while evaluating C<rcv> callbacks or inside C<psub> blocks
161will be reported as reason C<< die => $@ >>.
162
163Transport/communication errors are reported as C<< transport_error =>
164$message >>.

171
172Monitor the given port and do something when the port is killed.
173
174In the first form, the callback is simply called with any number
175of C<@reason> elements (no @reason means that the port was deleted
176"normally"). Note also that I<< the callback B<must> never die >>, so use
177C<eval> if unsure.
178
179In the second form, the other port will be C<kil>'ed with C<@reason>, iff
180a @reason was specified, i.e. on "normal" kils nothing happens, while
181under all other conditions, the other port is killed with the same reason.
182
183In the last form, a message of the form C<@msg, @reason> will be C<snd>.
184
185Example: call a given callback when C<$port> is killed.
186
187 mon $port, sub { warn "port died because of <@_>\n" };
188
189Example: kill ourselves when C<$port> is killed abnormally.
