Craig Small 2598e9f2ce documentation: Update pids manual pages
Updated the full suite of manual pages for the procps_pids_*
functions. The only one missing is procps_pids_get which
may not be required.

.SH NAME
libproc \-
Miscelleanous information about libproc
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <proc/procps.h>
Link with \fI\-lprocps\fR.
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual describes some of the anciallary information about the
libproc library.
.SS PID FETCH TYPE
The enum \fIpids_fetch_type\fR is used by the functions \fBprocps_pids_get\fR
and \fB procps_pids_reap\fR to determine if the only the process information
should be collected or the thread information as well.
.TS
lB l l.
PIDS_FETCH_TASKS_ONLY Only collect task (process) information
PIDS_FETCH_THREADS_TOO Collect both task and thread information
.TE
.SS PIDS COUNT
The \fBpids_count\fR structure shows some overall count of
processes in various states. Note that if you use
.BR procps_pids_select (3)
then the counts are for the matching processes only.
The structure is a series of integers and have the following
members.
The following information is found in the structure:
.PP
.in +4n
.nf
struct pids_counts {
int total; /* total number of processes */
int running; /* processes running in R state */
int sleeping; /* processes sleeping in S or D state */
int stopped; /* processes stopped in T state */
int zombied; /* zombie processes in Z state */
};
.fi
.in
.SS PIDS FETCH
This is the structure returned by \fBprocps_pids_reap\fR(3) and
\fBprocps_pids_select\fR(3) and contains a \fBPIDS STACK\fR and
some count information.
.PP
.in +4n
.nf
struct pids_fetch {
struct pids_counts *counts; /* Overall process counts */
struct pids_stack **stacks; /* Detailed process information */
};
.fi
.in
.SS PID ITEMS
The enum \fIpids_item\fR is used by the functions
.BR procps_pids_new (3),
.BR procps_pids_reset "(3) and"
.BR procps_pids_sort (3).
The following items can be fetched for a process:

.TE
.SS PIDS STACK
The structure \fIstruct pids_stack\fR is a stack or list of information
about a particular process found in another structure \fIpids_result\fR.
The \fIpids_result\fR structure containts the following information:
.PP
.in +4n
.nf
struct pids_result {
enum pids_item item;
union {
signed char s_ch;
signed int s_int;
unsigned int u_int;
unsigned long ul_int;
unsigned long long ull_int;
char *str;
char **strv;
} result;
};
.fi
.in
To extract the values out of the stack, the
macro \fBPROCPS_PIDS_VAL\fR is used the following way
.PP
.RI \fBPROCPS_PIDS_VAL\fR( index , type , stack )
where:
.TP
.I index
is the index of the \fIitems\fR defined with the function
.BR procps_pids_new (3)
.TP
.I type
type for returned value, see type column in \fBPID ITEMS\fR table.
.TP
.I stack
is the stack returned by \fBprocps_pids_get()\fR. It is also can be
accessed from the \fIpids_fetch\fR structure which is returned by
\fBprocps_pids_reap\fR.
