APIs

API references can be found here

Or just use your IDE for hint if it supports TypeScript and typedoc.

Examples

import { ps, psChildren } from "ps-get";
async function test() {
  const procs = await ps();
}
async function testChildren() {
  const children = await psChildren(1);
}

Why

There are already quite a few modules like this that has millions of weekly downloads, so why another one?

• ps-tree - event-stream, bug, no activity.
• ps-list - no API to get children, me not a fan of embedding .exe, even if it’s 5x faster.
• others - I didn’t do enough searching.
