-*-Text-*- Introduction: ------------- This is pstree V 2.39. It is a small program that shows the ps listing as a tree (as the name implies...). It has several options to make selection criteria and to change the output style. It should compile under most unixes, tested are AIX, Linux, HP-UX, A/UX, SunOS, Solaris, (Free|Open|Net)BSD, MacOSX/Darwin, and others. Under AIX & Linux, pstree directly reads the process table using getproc()/getuser() or the /proc file system. Under all other Un*xes pstree reads the output of /bin/ps. If process group information is available, process group leaders are marked with a '=' instead of '-'. Compilation: ------------ Take an ANSI C compiler, eg., gcc, and just enter $ [g]cc -O -o pstree pstree.c There is no Makefile. Installation: ------------ Put pstree into appropriate bindir, e.g., /usr/local/bin. Optionally, put the manpage pstree.1 to, e.g., /usr/local/share/man/man1.
