[;;4mSince[0m:
  OTP 17.0

  Garbage collects the node local process identified by [;;4mPid[0m.

  [;;4mOption[0m:

  [;;4m[;;4m{async, RequestId}[0m[0m:
    The function [;;4mgarbage_collect/2[0m returns the value [;;4masync[0m
    immediately after the request has been sent. When the request
    has been processed, the process that called this function is
    passed a message on the form [;;4m{garbage_collect, RequestId,[0m
    [;;4mGCResult}[0m.

  [;;4m[;;4m{type, 'major' | 'minor'}[0m[0m:
    Triggers garbage collection of requested type. Default value
    is [;;4m'major'[0m, which would trigger a fullsweep GC. The option [;;4m[0m
    [;;4m'minor'[0m is considered a hint and may lead to either minor or
    major GC run.

  If [;;4mPid[0m equals [;;4mself()[0m, and no [;;4masync[0m option has been passed,
  the garbage collection is performed at once, that is, the same as
  calling [;;4mgarbage_collect/0[0m. Otherwise a request for garbage
  collection is sent to the process identified by [;;4mPid[0m, and will be
  handled when appropriate. If no [;;4masync[0m option has been passed,
  the caller blocks until [;;4mGCResult[0m is available and can be
  returned.

  [;;4mGCResult[0m informs about the result of the garbage collection
  request as follows:

  [;;4m[;;4mtrue[0m[0m:
    The process identified by [;;4mPid[0m has been garbage collected.

  [;;4m[;;4mfalse[0m[0m:
    No garbage collection was performed, as the process identified
    by [;;4mPid[0m terminated before the request could be satisfied.

  Notice that the same caveats apply as for [;;4mgarbage_collect/0[0m.

  Failures:

  [;;4m[;;4mbadarg[0m[0m:
    If [;;4mPid[0m is not a node local process identifier.

  [;;4m[;;4mbadarg[0m[0m:
    If [;;4mOptionList[0m is an invalid list of options.
