.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn kvm_getprocs
|
|
returns a (sub-)set of active processes in the kernel indicated by
|
|
.Fa kd.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa op
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
arguments constitute a predicate which limits the set of processes
|
|
returned. The value of
|
|
.Fa op
|
|
describes the filtering predicate as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It Sy KERN_PROC_ALL
|
|
all processes
|
|
.It Sy KERN_PROC_PID
|
|
processes with process id
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
.It Sy KERN_PROC_PGRP
|
|
processes with process group
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
.It Sy KERN_PROC_SESSION
|
|
processes with session
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
.It Sy KERN_PROC_TTY
|
|
processes with tty
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
.It Sy KERN_PROC_UID
|
|
processes with effective user id
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
.It Sy KERN_PROC_RUID
|
|
processes with real user id
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The number of processes found is returned in the reference parameter
|
|
.Fa cnt .
|
|
The processes are returned as a contiguous array of kinfo_proc structures.
|
|
This memory is locally allocated, and subsequent calls to
|
|
.Fn kvm_getprocs
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn kvm_close
|
|
will overwrite this storage.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn kvm_getargv
|
|
returns a null-terminated argument vector that corresponds to the
|
|
command line arguments passed to process indicated by
|
|
.Fa p .
|
|
Most likely, these arguments correspond to the values passed to
|
|
.Xr exec 3
|
|
on process creation. This information is, however,
|
|
deliberately under control of the process itself.
|
|
Note that the original command name can be found, unaltered,
|
|
in the p_comm field of the process structure returned by
|
|
.Fn kvm_getprocs .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa nchr
|
|
argument indicates the maximum number of characters, including null bytes,
|
|
to use in building the strings. If this amount is exceeded, the string
|
|
causing the overflow is truncated and the partial result is returned.
|
|
This is handy for programs like
|
|
.Xr ps 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr w 1
|
|
that print only a one line summary of a command and should not copy
|
|
out large amounts of text only to ignore it.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa nchr
|
|
is zero, no limit is imposed and all argument strings are returned in
|
|
their entirety.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The memory allocated to the argv pointers and string storage
|
|
is owned by the kvm library. Subsequent
|
|
.Fn kvm_getprocs
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr kvm_close 3
|
|
calls will clobber this storage.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kvm_getenvv
|
|
function is similar to
|
|
.Fn kvm_getargv
|
|
but returns the vector of environment strings. This data is
|
|
also alterable by the process.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn kvm_getprocs ,
|
|
.Fn kvm_getargv ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn kvm_getenvv ,
|
|
all return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
These routines do not belong in the kvm interface.
