Detailed Description

Takes a snapshot of the state of a process and provides access to information such as the process name, parent process, the foreground process in the controlling terminal, the arguments with which the process was started and the environment.

To create a new snapshot, construct a new ProcessInfo instance, using ProcessInfo::newInstance(), passing the process identifier of the process you are interested in.

After creating a new instance, call the update() method to take a snapshot of the current state of the process.

Before calling any additional methods, check that the process state was read successfully using the isValid() method.

Each accessor method which provides information about the process state ( such as pid(), currentDir(), name() ) takes a pointer to a boolean as an argument. If the information requested was read successfully then the boolean is set to true, otherwise it is set to false, in which case the return value from the function should be ignored. If this boolean is set to false, it may indicate an error reading the process information, or it may indicate that the information is not available on the current platform.

eg.

ProcessInfo* info = ProcessInfo::newInstance(pid);
info->update();

if ( info->isValid() )
{
   bool ok;

   QString name = info->name(&ok);
   if ( ok ) kDebug() << "process name - " << name;
   int parentPid = info->parentPid(&ok);
   if ( ok ) kDebug() << "parent process - " << parentPid;
   int foregroundPid = info->foregroundPid(&ok);
   if ( ok ) kDebug() << "foreground process - " << foregroundPid;
}

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Konsole::ProcessInfo::Error

This enum describes the errors which can occur when trying to read a process's information.

Enumerator
NoError	No error occurred.
UnknownError	The nature of the error is unknown.
PermissionsError	Konsole does not have permission to obtain the process information.

Definition at line 197 of file ProcessInfo.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Konsole::ProcessInfo::~ProcessInfo ( )

inlinevirtual

Definition at line 90 of file ProcessInfo.h.

ProcessInfo::ProcessInfo ( int  pid, bool  readEnvironment = false  )

explicitprotected

Constructs a new process instance.

You should not call the constructor of ProcessInfo or its subclasses directly. Instead use the static ProcessInfo::newInstance() method which will return a suitable ProcessInfo instance for the current platform.

Definition at line 68 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void ProcessInfo::addArgument ( const QString &  argument )

protected

Adds a commandline argument for the process, as returned by arguments()

Adds an environment binding for the process, as returned by environment()

Parameters

name	The name of the environment variable, eg. "PATH"
value	The value of the environment variable, eg. "/bin"

Definition at line 328 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

QVector< QString > ProcessInfo::arguments

(

bool *

ok

)

const

Returns the command-line arguments which the process was started with.

The first argument is the name used to launch the process.

Parameters

ok	Set to true if the arguments were read successfully or false otherwise.

Definition at line 193 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

void ProcessInfo::clearArguments ( )

protected

clear the commandline arguments for the process, as returned by arguments()

Definition at line 323 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

QString ProcessInfo::currentDir

(

bool *

ok

)

const

Returns the current working directory of the process.

Parameters

ok	Set to true if the current working directory was read successfully or false otherwise

Definition at line 300 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

QMap< QString, QString > ProcessInfo::environment

(

bool *

ok

)

const

Returns the environment bindings which the process was started with.

In the returned map, the key is the name of the environment variable, and the value is the corresponding value.

Parameters

ok	Set to true if the environment bindings were read successfully or false otherwise

Definition at line 200 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

ProcessInfo::Error ProcessInfo::error

(

)

const

Returns the last error which occurred.

Definition at line 87 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

int ProcessInfo::foregroundPid

(

bool *

ok

)

const

Returns the id of the current foreground process.

NOTE: Using the foregroundProcessGroup() method of the Pty instance associated with the terminal of interest is preferred over using this method.

Parameters

ok	Set to true if the foreground process id was read successfully or false otherwise

Definition at line 226 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

QString ProcessInfo::format

(

const QString &

text

)

const

Parses an input string, looking for markers beginning with a '' character and returns a string with the markers replaced with information from this process description.

The markers recognized are:

• u - Name of the user which owns the process.
• n - Replaced with the name of the process.

• d - Replaced with the last part of the path name of the process' current working directory.

  (eg. if the current directory is '/home/bob' then 'bob' would be returned)

• D - Replaced with the current working directory of the process.

Definition at line 120 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

bool ProcessInfo::isValid

(

)

const

Returns true if the process state was read successfully.

Definition at line 207 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

QString ProcessInfo::localHost ( )

static

Returns the local host.

Definition at line 257 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

QString ProcessInfo::name

(

bool *

ok

)

const

Returns the name of the current process.

Definition at line 233 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

ProcessInfo * ProcessInfo::newInstance ( int  pid, bool  readEnvironment = false  )

static

Constructs a new instance of a suitable ProcessInfo sub-class for the current platform which provides information about a given process.

Parameters

pid	The pid of the process to examine
readEnvironment	Specifies whether environment bindings should be read. If this is false, then environment() calls will always fail. This is an optimization to avoid the overhead of reading the (potentially large) environment data when it is not required.

Definition at line 1165 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

int ProcessInfo::parentPid

(

bool *

ok

)

const

Returns the id of the parent process id was read successfully or false otherwise.

int ProcessInfo::pid

(

bool *

ok

)

const

Returns the process id.

Parameters

ok	Set to true if the process id was read successfully or false otherwise

Definition at line 212 of file ProcessInfo.cpp.

virtual bool Konsole::ProcessInfo::readProcessInfo ( int  pid, bool  readEnvironment  )

protectedpure virtual

This is called on construction to read the process state Subclasses should reimplement this function to provide platform-specific process state reading functionality.

When called, readProcessInfo() should attempt to read all of the necessary state information. If the attempt is successful, it should set the process id using setPid(), and update the other relevant information using setParentPid(), setName(), setArguments() etc.

Calls to isValid() will return true only if the process id has been set using setPid()

Parameters

pid	The process id of the process to read
readEnvironment	Specifies whether the environment bindings for the process should be read

Implemented in Konsole::UnixProcessInfo, and Konsole::NullProcessInfo.
