       #include <proc/readproc.h>

       proc_t** readproctab(int flags, ... );
       void freeproctab(proc_t **p);

DESCRIPTION
       readproctab reads information on all processes  matching  the  criteria
       from  flags,  allocating  memory for everything as needed. It returns a
       NULL-terminated list of proc_t pointers. For more  information  on  the

       freeproctab frees all memory allocated by readproctab.
