Hello!
I hope some of you can help me, my problem is this one: I would like to see the parent's PID of each process in "/proc" from one application that i am coding.
The ppid is available through /kern/<PID>/status (the entry called PPid) and through /kern/<PID>/stat (better tool readable).
<PID> is the pid of the process. Inside the stat information file the ppid is the fourth entry.
I found a method that works for some unix systems which it uses a structure called psinfo_t, but i think it doesn't exist in FreeMiNT. Is there something similar to the process info structure (psinfo_t) that i can use? or do you know any method to go through the process table and check the parents ID of each process running?
/proc is deprecated and shall not be used anymore. It's still here for backward compatibility.
