Understanding Process Control Blocks by Kushal Roy Chowdhury is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Process Control Block (PCB) is a data structure that stores information about a process required by the CPU for execution. Each process has its own PCB, which contains the process ID, program counter, state, priority, registers, list of open files, list of open devices, and other attributes. The PCB resides in main memory and there is one PCB per process, with all PCBs linked together.
