The library can find and +list processes on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows. + +If you're new to Go, this library has a good amount of advanced Go educational +value as well. It uses some advanced features of Go: build tags, accessing +DLL methods for Windows, cgo for Darwin, etc. + +How it works: + + * **Darwin** uses the `sysctl` syscall to retrieve the process table. + * **Unix** uses the procfs at `/proc` to inspect the process tree. + * **Windows** uses the Windows API, and methods such as + `CreateToolhelp32Snapshot` to get a point-in-time snapshot of + the process table. + +## Installation + +Install using standard `go get`: + +``` +$ go get github.com/mitchellh/go-ps +... +``` + +## TODO + +Want to contribute? Here is a short TODO list of things that aren't +implemented for this library that would be nice: + + * FreeBSD support + * Plan9 support |
