.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm kinfo_getallproc
|
|
.Nd function for getting process information of all processes from kernel
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libutil
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In libutil.h
|
|
.Ft struct kinfo_proc *
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getallproc "int *cntp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function is used for obtaining process information of all processes from
|
|
the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar cntp
|
|
field is a pointer containing the number of process structures returned.
|
|
This function is a wrapper around
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
with the
|
|
.Dv KERN_PROC_PROC
|
|
mib.
|
|
While the kernel returns a packed structure, this function expands the
|
|
data into a fixed record format.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
On success the
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getallproc
|
|
function returns a pointer to
|
|
.Ar cntp
|
|
.Vt struct kinfo_proc
|
|
structures as defined by
|
|
.In sys/user.h .
|
|
The pointer was obtained by an internal call to
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
and must be freed by the caller with a call to
|
|
.Xr free 3 .
|
|
On failure the
|
|
.Fn kinfo_getallproc
|
|
function returns
|
|
.Dv NULL .
