.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm libprocstat
library contains the API for runtime file and process information
retrieval from the running kernel via the
.Xr sysctl 3
library backend, and for post-mortem analysis via the
.Xr kvm 3
library backend, or from the process
.Xr core 5
file, searching for statistics in special
.Xr elf 3
note sections.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_open_kvm
and
.Fn procstat_open_sysctl
functions use the
.Xr kvm 3
or
.Xr sysctl 3
library routines, respectively, to access kernel state information
used to retrieve processes and files states.
The
.Fn procstat_open_core
uses
.Xr elf 3
routines to access statistics stored as a set of notes in a process
.Xr core 5
file, written by the kernel at the moment of the process abnormal termination.
The
.Fa filename
argument is the process core file name.
The
.Fa nlistf
argument is the executable image of the kernel being examined.
If this argument is
.Dv NULL ,
the currently running kernel is assumed.
The
.Fa memf
argument is the kernel memory device file.
If this argument is
.Dv NULL ,
then
.Pa /dev/mem
is assumed.
See
.Xr kvm_open 3
for more details.
The functions dynamically allocate and return a
.Vt procstat
structure pointer used in the rest of the
.Nm libprocstat
library routines until the corresponding
.Fn procstat_close
call that cleans up the resources allocated by the
.Fn procstat_open_*
functions.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getprocs
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure from one of the
.Fn procstat_open_*
functions and returns a dynamically allocated (sub-)set of active processes
in the kernel filled in to array of
.Vt kinfo_proc
structures.
The
.Fa what
and
.Fa arg
arguments constitute a filtering predicate as described in the
.Xr kvm_getprocs 3
function.
The number of processes found is returned in the reference parameter
.Fa cnt .
The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
.Fn procstat_freeprocs
function call.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getargv
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure from one of the
.Fn procstat_open_*
functions, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure from the array obtained from the
.Fn kvm_getprocs
function, and returns a null-terminated argument vector that corresponds to
the command line arguments passed to the process.
The
.Fa nchr
argument indicates the maximum number of characters, including null bytes,
to use in building the strings.
If this amount is exceeded, the string causing the overflow is truncated and
the partial result is returned.
This is handy for programs that print only a one line summary of a
command and should not copy out large amounts of text only to ignore it.
If
.Fa nchr
is zero, no limit is imposed and all argument strings are returned.
The values of the returned argument vector refer the strings stored
in the
.Vt procstat
internal buffer.
A subsequent call of the function with the same
.Vt procstat
argument will reuse the buffer.
To free the allocated memory
.Fn procstat_freeargv
function call can be used, or it will be released on
.Fn procstat_close .
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getenvv
function is similar to
.Fn procstat_getargv
but returns the vector of environment strings.
The caller may free the allocated memory with a subsequent
.Fn procstat_freeenv
function call.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getauxv
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, and returns the auxiliary vector as a dynamically allocated array of
.Vt Elf_Auxinfo
elements.
The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
.Fn procstat_freeauxv
function call.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getfiles
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure initialized with one of the
.Fn procstat_open_*
functions, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure from the array obtained from the
.Fn kvm_getprocs
function, and returns a dynamically allocated linked list of filled in
.Vt filestat_list
structures using the STAILQ macros defined in
.Xr queue 3 .
The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
.Fn procstat_freefiles
function call.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getgroups
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, and returns the process groups as a dynamically allocated array of
.Vt gid_t
elements.
The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
.Fn procstat_freegroups
function call.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getkstack
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure initialized with one of the
.Fn procstat_open_*
functions, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, and returns kernel stacks of the process as a dynamically allocated
array of
.Vt kinfo_kstack
structures.
The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
.Fn procstat_freekstack
function call.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getosrel
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, and returns osrel date in the 3rd reference parameter.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getpathname
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, and copies the path of the process executable to
.Fa pathname
buffer, limiting to
.Fa maxlen
characters.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getrlimit
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, resource index
.Fa which ,
and returns the actual resource limit in the 4th reference parameter.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getumask
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, and returns the process umask in the 3rd reference parameter.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_getvmmap
function gets a pointer to the
.Vt procstat
structure initialized with one of the
.Fn procstat_open_*
functions, a pointer to
.Vt kinfo_proc
structure, and returns VM layout of the process as a dynamically allocated
array of
.Vt kinfo_vmentry
structures.
The caller is responsible to free the allocated memory with a subsequent
.Fn procstat_freevmmap
function call.
.Pp
The
.Fn procstat_get_pipe_info ,
.Fn procstat_get_pts_info ,
.Fn procstat_get_sem_info ,
.Fn procstat_get_shm_info ,
.Fn procstat_get_socket_info
and
.Fn procstat_get_vnode_info
functions are used to retrieve information about pipes, pseudo-terminals,
semaphores, shared memory objects,
sockets, and vnodes, respectively.
Each of them have a similar interface API.
The
.Fa procstat
argument is a pointer obtained from one of
.Fn procstat_open_*
functions.
The
.Ft filestat Fa fst
argument is an element of STAILQ linked list as obtained from the
.Fn procstat_getfiles
function.
The
.Ft filestat
structure contains a
.Fa fs_type
field that specifies a file type and a corresponding function to be
called among the
.Nm procstat_get_*_info
function family.
The actual object is returned in the 3rd reference parameter.
The
.Fa errbuf
argument indicates an actual error message in case of failure.
