freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 290, Issue 12

Sat Dec 26 17:51:30 UTC 2009

Hello,

I am looking a convenient way using C to retrieve the current CPU and 
memory utilization of a process of which I have the pid. Can somebody 
please give me a hint of which system-calls/library-functions to use for 
this ? I don't want to use the system() function or grep for information 
via the /proc filesystem.

I would be grateful if you could also please mention whether the 
suggested method[s] is/are FreeBSD-specific or would be portable to 
other environments like Solaris/Linux ?

Thanks for any help.

Regards & Happy New Year

I have never seen this message since I am a user of mc. Propably it is something new in this new version. The version 4.6.2 does not show you this message durring starting application.
