# Process List Library for Go [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/mitchellh/go-ps?status.png)](https://godoc.org/github.com/mitchellh/go-ps)

go-ps is a library for Go that implements OS-specific APIs to list and

manipulate processes in a platform-safe way. 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
