# Process List Library for Go
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, 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, via
cgo.
* **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
* Eliminate the need for cgo with Darwin
