Is there any Carbon/Cocoa/C API available on Macs that I can use to enumerate processes? I’m looking for something like EnumProcesses on Windows.
My goal is to check from code whether a process is running (by name).
Thanks!
TechZen says: The Process Manager is, as of Dec 2013, completely deprecated.
Ah, I just found the Process Manager reference
Looks like
GetNextProcessandGetProcessInfohelp in figuring out what’s running. As suggested by Dave,GetBSDProcessListcan be used if you’re looking for daemons and not just Carbon/Cocoa processes.
