Description

See http://stackoverflow.com/q/43419684/1446916

There is interest in a %pid pattern converter that shows the operating system process ID in the log. Java 9 will provide an official API for this, when running on an older version of Java, a best-effort approach that works on most platforms is still useful if the limitations are clearly documented.
