  [;1m-spec garbage_collect() -> true.[0m

  Forces an immediate garbage collection of the executing process.
  The function is not to be used unless it has been noticed (or
  there are good reasons to suspect) that the spontaneous garbage
  collection will occur too late or not at all.

  Warning:
    Improper use can seriously degrade system performance.

  [;1m-spec garbage_collect(Pid) -> GCResult[0m
  [;1m                         when Pid :: pid(), GCResult :: boolean().[0m

  The same as [;;4mgarbage_collect(Pid, [])[0m.

  [;1m-spec garbage_collect(Pid, OptionList) -> GCResult | async[0m
  [;1m                         when[0m
  [;1m                             Pid :: pid(),[0m
  [;1m                             RequestId :: term(),[0m
  [;1m                             Option ::[0m

[;;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.
