Hi list !
it's my first post here, because i'm not a low level guy, usually
developing with Cocoa high level API... but low level UNIX
knowledge is very important and very useful to understand what's
behind the hood...
Well, for my project, i need to get the parent process id (ppid)
of another process than the current one. Given its pid for example.
In fact, i would like to get exactly what Activity Monitor.app get
when using "All processes, Hierarchically" (in the pop up button
at the top). The hierarchic mode is able to display the parent
process of *any* process...
how is that achieved ? i look at tons of man pages, google etc...
i could not find anything useful. I'm pretty sure there is no
standart unix call for that but what do i know ? is it a private
API ?
Have a look at the source for the 'ps' command (<http://
developer.apple.com/darwin>) in the 'adv_cmds' project. Make sure
to look at the source for the version of Mac OS X/Darwin you are
using.

Justin
