Human-understandable process name

Hello all,

I’m not sure if this is the correct list, but I figure I’ll start somewhere.

I’m writing a program that collects activity statistics on other running programs (in particular, network usage statistics).  I have already successfully harvested the statistics I want, organized by the PID and name of the process, however I’d like to do a better job communicating this information to the user.  I am intrigued by Mac OS 10.10’s ability to report “Apps using significant energy”; it seems to have the ability to get a commonly understood human-readable program name, even when the process in question is a helper app with a different name.  Is this ability replicable in third party applications?

Thanks,
 - Andrew Keller
