+
+This function returns a list of all or a selected subset of all running
+processes. You can use the @code{which} and @code{arg} arguments to
+specify which processes should be returned.
+
+You can use the following values for the @code{which} argument:
+
+@table @code
+@item GLIBTOP_KERN_PROC_ALL
+Return information about all processes (the @code{arg} argument is ignored).
+
+@item GLIBTOP_KERN_PROC_PID
+Return information about all process with the pid @var{PID} which is passed
+in @code{arg}. You can use this to find out whether some process still exists.
+
+@item GLIBTOP_KERN_PROC_PGRP
+Return all processes in process group @var{PGRP} which is passed in
+@code{arg}.
+
+@item GLIBTOP_KERN_PROC_SESSION
+Return all processes in session @var{SESSION} which is passed in @code{arg}.
+
+@item GLIBTOP_KERN_PROC_TTY
+Return all processes which have the controlling tty @var{TTY} which is passed
+in @code{arg} (@var{TTY} is interpreted as device number).
+
+@item GLIBTOP_KERN_PROC_UID
+Return all processes with effective uid @var{UID} which is passed in @code{arg}.
+
+@item GLIBTOP_KERN_PROC_RUID
+Return all processes with real uid @var{RUID} which is passed in @code{arg}.
+
+@end table
+
+You can alter the list of returned processes by using a binary OR of
+@code{which} and the following constants:
+
+@table @code
+@item GLIBTOP_EXCLUDE_IDLE
+Exclude idle processes.
+@item GLIBTOP_EXCLUDE_SYSTEM
+Exclude system processes.
+@item GLIBTOP_EXCLUDE_NOTTY
+Exclude processes without a controlling terminal.
+@end table
+
+The return value of @code{glibtop_get_proclist} is either @code{NULL} on
+error or a @code{unsigned *} list of pids. Additionally, the following fields
+of @code{glibtop_proclist} are set:
+
+@table @code
+@item number
+Number of entries in the returned list.
+
+@item total
+Total size of the returned list (this equals @code{number * size}).
+
+@item size
+Size of a single entry in the returned list
+(this equals @code{sizeof (unsigned)}).
+@end table
+
+The returned list is allocated using @code{glibtop_malloc} and must be freed
+using @code{glibtop_free} to avoid a memory leak.
