Determine Process Info Programmatically in Darwin/OSX

Question

I have a class with the following member functions:

/// caller pid
virtual pid_t Pid() const = 0; 

/// physical memory size in KB
virtual uint64_t Size() c         


        

Answer 1

You can use below code for process info in mac OS:

void IsInBSDProcessList(char *name)    { 
  assert( name != NULL); 
  kinfo_proc *result; 
  size_t count = 0; 
  result = (kinfo_proc *)malloc(sizeof(kinfo_proc)); 
  if(GetBSDProcessList(&result,&count) == 0) { 
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { 
      kinfo_proc *proc = NULL; 
      proc = &result[i]; 
      }
  } 
  free(result);
}

kinfo_proc struct contains all the information about a process.such as Process identifier (pid), process group, process status and etc.
