Show Process In Linux Using C++

Question

I am starting in C++, reading a good book of it and I want to build a program that shows the user all the process that the Linux of he is doing, using C++.

Answer 1

Using the library

http://procps.sourceforge.net/

For reading proc entries would be useful. This is how top and others gain access to a list of running process.

You can also link to the libproc library rather than copying source from procps.
