PSTREE is a clone of the standard Linux pstree command, which displays
process information in a heirarchical fashion. It builds and runs on
SLS linux, FreeBSD 4.4, FreeBSD 4.8, and MacOS 10.0.4. Unlike the
standard pstree, it uses either sysctl() [macOS 10.0.4], kvm_getprocs()
[FreeBSD 4.?] or /proc [SLS linux] as needed.

PSTREE is free software; it is released under a BSD-style license
that allows you to do as you wish with it as long as you don't attempt
to claim it as your own work.

To install pstree, do

./configure.sh (./configure.sh --help explains options)

make

make install (as root)

If pstree needs to use sysctl() or kvm_getprocs() to read process
information, it will be installed as a setuid process to allow
it to read all of the process data.
