.TH OPENPROC 3 "14 July 2014" "Linux Manpage" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
openproc, closeproc \- initialize process information from /proc/
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <proc/readproc.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "PROCTAB* openproc (int " flags ", ... );"
|
|
.br
|
|
.BI "void closeproc (PROCTAB* " PT ");"
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B openproc
|
|
function initializes a PROCTAB structure which can be used by iterated
|
|
readproc calls to get information on current processes. Depending on
|
|
.IR flags ,
|
|
openproc may need a second argument or a second and third argument
|
|
(see below).
|
|
|
|
.B closeproc
|
|
closes all files opened by
|
|
.B openproc
|
|
and deallocates the memory allocated by
|
|
.B openproc.
|
|
|
|
The PROCTAB structure is defined in
|
|
.I <proc/readproc.h>
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.B openproc
|
|
returns a pointer to a PROCTAB structure, or NULL if an error
|
|
occurs. This usually means that
|
|
.I /proc
|
|
cannot be read by the process.
|
|
|
|
.SH "FLAGS"
|
|
|
|
The behaviour of
|
|
.B openproc
|
|
is controlled by the following set of flags, which may be ORed
|
|
together. There are three
|
|
different kinds of flags. The first group of flags determines which
|
|
information gets read from /proc/#pid for each process. The second
|
|
group of flags (of which only one can be enacted for a opendir call)
|
|
restricts which processes information is read for by providing a list
|
|
of criteria. The third group of flags restricts this as well, but
|
|
doesn't need arguments. These may be used together again.
