The main process in Reltool is the server. It can be used as it is or be used via the GUI frontend process. When the GUI is started, a server process will automatically be started. The GUI process is started with reltool:start/0, reltool:start/1 or reltool:start_link/1. The pid of its server can be obtained with reltool:get_server/1
