Read and write kernel variables. With these two modules, there
should be much less need for writing shell scripts that scrape
the output of ps(1) and sysctl(8).

=item L<Proc::ProcessTable>

Seems to be a fairly wide cross-platform module. Goes into
a fair amount of depth, but not as much as C<BSD::Process>
does in its own particular niche. Also, FreeBSD has moved
away from the F</proc> filesystem.

Definitely the module to use if you need to go
multi-platform.

=item L<Solaris::Procfs>

Information about processes on the Solaris platform. The
documentation indicates that it is not finished, however,
it does not appear to have been updated since 2003.

=item L<Win32::Process::Info>

Information about current processes on the Win32 platform.

=head1 BUGS

Not all of the ps(1) keywords are implemented. At the worst,
this (currently) means that you could not rewrite it in Perl.
This may be addressed in a future release.

Please report all bugs at
L<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=BSD-Process|rt.cpan.org>

Make sure you include the output from the following two commands:

  perl -MBSD::Process -le 'print $BSD::Process::VERSION'
  perl -V

I also accept pull requests on Github. See
L<https://github.com/dland/BSD-Process>

=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The FreeBSD Ports team, for their work on keeping this module up
to date on the ports tree. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks also to az5112 on Github (I've lost their name), who implemented
the C<args> method.
