<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>readproc</B>
reads the information for the next process matching the criteria
specified in
<I>PT</I>
and fills them into a
<I>proc_t</I>
structure. If
<I>return_buf</I>
is not NULL, it will use the struct pointed at by
<I>return_buf</I>.
Otherwise it will allocate a new
<I>proc_t</I>
structure and return a pointer to it.
Note that (if so specified in
<I>PT</I>)
readproc always allocates memory if it fills in the
<I>environ</I> or <I>cmdline</I>
parts of
<I>proc_t</I>.
<P>
<B>freeproc</B>
frees all memory allocated for the
<I>proc_t</I>
struct
<I>*p</I>.
<P>
The
<I>proc_t</I>
structure is defined in
<I>&lt;<A HREF="file:///usr/include/proc/readproc.h">proc/readproc.h</A>&gt;</I>,
please look there for a definition of all fields.
<P>
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
<P>
<B>readproc</B>
returns a pointer to the next
<I>proc_t</I>
or NULL if there are no more processes left.
