311eaf0ac3Slogwang.Sh NAME
321eaf0ac3Slogwang.Nm kinfo_getallproc
331eaf0ac3Slogwang.Nd function for getting process information of all processes from kernel
341eaf0ac3Slogwang.Sh LIBRARY
351eaf0ac3Slogwang.Lb libutil
361eaf0ac3Slogwang.Sh SYNOPSIS
371eaf0ac3Slogwang.In sys/types.h
381eaf0ac3Slogwang.In sys/user.h
391eaf0ac3Slogwang.In libutil.h
401eaf0ac3Slogwang.Ft struct kinfo_proc *
411eaf0ac3Slogwang.Fn kinfo_getallproc "int *cntp"
421eaf0ac3Slogwang.Sh DESCRIPTION
431eaf0ac3SlogwangThis function is used for obtaining process information of all processes from
441eaf0ac3Slogwangthe kernel.
451eaf0ac3Slogwang.Pp
461eaf0ac3SlogwangThe
471eaf0ac3Slogwang.Ar cntp
481eaf0ac3Slogwangfield is a pointer containing the number of process structures returned.
491eaf0ac3SlogwangThis function is a wrapper around
501eaf0ac3Slogwang.Xr sysctl 3
511eaf0ac3Slogwangwith the
521eaf0ac3Slogwang.Dv KERN_PROC_PROC
531eaf0ac3Slogwangmib.
541eaf0ac3SlogwangWhile the kernel returns a packed structure, this function expands the
551eaf0ac3Slogwangdata into a fixed record format.
561eaf0ac3Slogwang.Sh RETURN VALUES
571eaf0ac3SlogwangOn success the
581eaf0ac3Slogwang.Fn kinfo_getallproc
591eaf0ac3Slogwangfunction returns a pointer to
601eaf0ac3Slogwang.Ar cntp
611eaf0ac3Slogwang.Vt struct kinfo_proc
621eaf0ac3Slogwangstructures as defined by
631eaf0ac3Slogwang.In sys/user.h .
641eaf0ac3SlogwangThe pointer was obtained by an internal call to
651eaf0ac3Slogwang.Xr malloc 3
661eaf0ac3Slogwangand must be freed by the caller with a call to
671eaf0ac3Slogwang.Xr free 3 .
681eaf0ac3SlogwangOn failure the
691eaf0ac3Slogwang.Fn kinfo_getallproc
701eaf0ac3Slogwangfunction returns
711eaf0ac3Slogwang.Dv NULL .
