KINFO_GETALLPROC(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual KINFO_GETALLPROC(3) NAME kinfo_getallproc - function for getting process information of all processes from kernel LIBRARY System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil) SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/user.h> #include <libutil.h> struct kinfo_proc * kinfo_getallproc(int *cntp); DESCRIPTION This function is used for obtaining process information of all processes from the kernel. The cntp field is a pointer containing the number of process structures returned. This function is a wrapper around sysctl(3) with the KERN_PROC_PROC mib. While the kernel returns a packed structure, this function expands the data into a fixed record format. RETURN VALUES On success the kinfo_getallproc() function returns a pointer to cntp struct kinfo_proc structures as defined by <sys/user.h>. The pointer was obtained by an internal call to malloc(3) and must be freed by the caller with a call to free(3). On failure the kinfo_getallproc() function returns NULL. SEE ALSO free(3), malloc(3), sysctl(3) HISTORY The kinfo_getallproc() function first appeared in FreeBSD 8.3. FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8 May 8, 2020 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p8
