This package is used to get a list of running processes on Windows or Unix-like systems, even Darwin.

> Thanks to [fastlist](https://github.com/MarkTiedemann/fastlist) for processes on Windows.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require devium/processes
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Devium\Processes\Processes;

// some PID, integer
$pid = 1234;
// get all processes except both session leaders, default false
$all = true;

$processes = new Processes($all);
$exists = $processes->exists($pid); // returns true of false
$arrayOfProcesses = $processes->get(); // returns array of processes where key is PID

// for rescanning processes, call rescan() method
$newArrayOfProcesses = $processes->rescan()->get();

// if you only need an array of processes, just use the static asArray():
$listOfProcesses = Processes::asArray();
```
