## Synopsis

This package is really similar to [ps-tree][gh:ps-tree] but is faster, safer and
provides sub-children results.  
Furthermore ps-tree is [unmaintained][gh:ps-tree-um].

Uuh, and a fancy [CLI](#cli) is also available!

## Usage

```js
var pidtree = require('pidtree')

// Get childs of current process
pidtree(process.pid, function (err, pids) {
  console.log(pids)
  // => []
})

// Include the given pid in the result array
pidtree(process.pid, {root: true}, function (err, pids) {
  console.log(pids)
  // => [727]
})

// Get all the processes of the System (-1 is a special value of this package)
pidtree(-1, function (err, pids) {
  console.log(pids)
  // => [530, 42, ..., 41241]
})

// Include PPID in the results
pidtree(1, {advanced: true}, function (err, pids) {
  console.log(pids)
  // => [{ppid: 1, pid: 530}, {ppid: 1, pid: 42}, ..., {ppid: 1, pid: 41241}]
})

// If no callback is given it returns a promise instead
const pids = await pidtree(1)
console.log(pids)
// => [141, 42, ..., 15242]
```

## Compatibility

| Linux | FreeBSD | NetBSD | SunOS | macOS | Win | AIX |

✅ = Working
❓ = Not tested but should work

Please if your platform is not supported [file an issue][new issue].

## CLI

<img src="https://github.com/simonepri/pidtree/raw/master/media/cli.gif" alt="pidtree cli" width="300" align="right"/>
Show a tree of the processes inside your system inside your terminal.

```bash
npx pidtree $PPID
```
Just replace `$PPID` with one of the pids inside your system.

Or don't pass anything if you want all the pids inside your system.

```bash
npx pidtree
```

To display the output as a list, similar to the one produced from `pgrep -P $PID`,
pass the `--list` flag.

```bash
npx pidtree --list
```

## API

<a name="pidtree"></a>

## pidtree(pid, [options], [callback]) ⇒ <code>[Promise.&lt;Array.&lt;Object&gt;&gt;]</code>
Get the list of children pids of the given pid.

**Kind**: global function  
**Returns**: <code>Promise.&lt;Array.&lt;Object&gt;&gt;</code> - Only when the callback is not provided.  
**Access**: public  

| Param | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| pid | <code>Number</code> \| <code>String</code> |  | A pid. If -1 will return all the pids. |
| [options] | <code>Object</code> |  | Optional options object. |
| [options.root] | <code>Boolean</code> | <code>false</code> | Include the provided pid in the list. Ignored if -1 is passed as pid. |
| [callback] | <code>function</code> |  | Called when the list is ready. If not provided a promise is returned instead. |
