 | 
						|
.Sh LIBRARY

.Sh SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.In rc.h
 | 
						|
.Ft "RC_PIDLIST *" Fo rc_find_pids
 | 
						|
.Fa "const char *const *argv"
 | 
						|
.Fa "const char *cmd"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.Fn rc_find_pids
 | 
						|
returns RC_PIDLIST, a structure based on the LIST macro from
 | 
						|
.Xr queue 3
 | 
						|
which contains all the pids found matching the given criteria.
 | 
						|
If
 | 
						|
.Fa pid
 | 
						|
is given then only that pid is returned if it is running. Otherise we check
 | 
						|
all instances of
 | 
						|
.Fa argv
 | 
						|
with a process name of
 | 
						|
.Fa cmd
 | 
						|
owned by
 | 
						|
.Fa uid ,
 | 
						|
all of which are optional.
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
The returned list should be freed when done.
 | 
						|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
 | 
						|
On BSD systems we use
 | 
						|
.Lb libkvm
 | 
						|
and on Linux systems we use the
 | 
						|
.Pa /proc
 | 
						|
filesystem to find our processes.
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
Each RC_PID should be freed in the list as well as the list itself when done.
