get process name from pid - getcommandline
All,
I have a requirement to get the process name of the newly execv'd process.
After getting the complete process name, I need to carry out further operations on that.
Problem so far is how do I retrieve the name of the process ?
There is an API in windows called GetCommandLine. I need something similiar to that in Linux.
I tried this forum and a whole lot of other google results. Nothing helped.
The best I have come up is Linux maintains a struct for each process, and a struct member supoosedly hold the process name. But I cant figure out which/what struct that is.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vino

sched_rr_get_interval
SCHED_RR_GET_INTERVAL(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SCHED_RR_GET_INTERVAL(2)
NAME
sched_rr_get_interval - get the SCHED_RR interval for the named process
SYNOPSIS
#include <sched.h>
int sched_rr_get_interval(pid_t pid, struct timespec * tp);
DESCRIPTION
sched_rr_get_interval() writes into the timespec structure pointed to by tp the round-robin time quantum for the process identified by pid.
The specified process should be running under the SCHED_RR scheduling policy.
The timespec structure has the following form:
struct timespec {
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */
};
If pid is zero, the time quantum for the calling process is written into *tp.
RETURN VALUE
On success, sched_rr_get_interval() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EFAULT Problem with copying information to user space.
EINVAL Invalid pid.
ENOSYS The system call is not yet implemented (only on rather old kernels).
ESRCH Could not find a process with the ID pid.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
POSIX systems on which sched_rr_get_interval() is available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>.
Linux Notes
POSIX does not specify any mechanism for controlling the size of the round-robin time quantum. Older Linux kernels provide a (nonportable)
method of doing this. The quantum can be controlled by adjusting the process's nice value (see setpriority(2)). Assigning a negative
(i.e., high) nice value results in a longer quantum; assigning a positive (i.e., low) nice value results in a shorter quantum. The default
quantum is 0.1 seconds; the degree to which changing the nice value affects the quantum has varied somewhat across kernel versions. Since
Linux 2.6.24, the SCHED_RR quantum cannot be modified.
SEE ALSO
sched_setscheduler(2) has a description of the Linux scheduling scheme.
