  [;1m-spec register(RegName, PidOrPort) -> true[0m
  [;1m                  when RegName :: atom(), PidOrPort :: port() | pid().[0m

  Associates the name [;;4mRegName[0m with a process identifier (pid) or a
  port identifier. [;;4mRegName[0m, which must be an atom, can be used
  instead of the pid or port identifier in send operator ([;;4mRegName ![0m
  [;;4mMessage[0m). Example:

    > register(db, Pid).
    true

  Failures:

  [;;4m[;;4mbadarg[0m[0m:
    If [;;4mPidOrPort[0m is not an existing local process or port.

  [;;4m[;;4mbadarg[0m[0m:
    If [;;4mRegName[0m is already in use.

  [;;4m[;;4mbadarg[0m[0m:
    If the process or port is already registered (already has a
    name).

  [;;4m[;;4mbadarg[0m[0m:
    If [;;4mRegName[0m is the atom [;;4mundefined[0m.
