KINFO_GETALLPROC(3) BSD 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 <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.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin

sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
But what a book. The one I found and ordered is BSD Unix®... (0 Replies)
