dalance/procs

Procs is a modern, cross-platform process viewer written in Rust, serving as a replacement for the traditional \ps\ command. It provides detailed process monitoring capabilities across Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD by leveraging native OS APIs to expose metrics such as network I/O, thread counts, and resource usage. The system supports advanced filtering via regex, customizable display configurations through TOML files, and includes features like a built-in pager and shell completions.

This entry marks the initial commit and release of the procs tool (v0.14.12), a modern replacement for \ps\ written in Rust. The release includes a comprehensive CHANGELOG detailing new Windows-specific columns (Arch, Priority, Threads, Session, State, Env, RecvBytes, SendBytes, WorkDir), support for BSD and FreeBSD, a built-in pager, and various bug fixes. The repository structure is established with a Makefile for cross-platform builds (Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM64), a snapcraft.yaml for Snap packaging, and a build.rs script for generating shell completions and man pages at build time.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The process list now includes several new columns to provide deeper insight into running processes. Users can now view the process architecture (Arch), the compressed cgroup path (Cgroup (compressed)), the raw cgroup path (Cgroup), the command line (Command), context switches (ContextSw), CPU time (CPU Time), Docker container association (Docker), the instruction pointer (EIP), elapsed time since start (Elapsed), environment variables (Env), the stack pointer (ESP), the executable file name (FileName), group identifiers (GID, FGID, RGID, SGID), and group names (Group). These additions enhance the ability to monitor and troubleshoot processes across Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD.

src/columns · high confidence

The \src\ directory has been completely rewritten to replace the previous \structopt\-based CLI with \clap\, introducing new command-line flags such as \--gen-config\, \--gen-completion\, and \--load-config\. Configuration is now managed via a structured \Config\ type loaded from TOML files (e.g., \\~/.config/procs/config.toml\), supporting advanced display options like column alignment, sorting, and theme detection. The application now supports regex-based process filtering with a fallback to \fancy\_regex\ for advanced patterns, and introduces a built-in pager with \less\-compatible keybindings for viewing output.

src · high confidence

The process module has been rewritten to use platform-specific native APIs instead of the previous \procfs\-based approach, introducing dedicated implementations for Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows. This change significantly expands the available process metrics: Linux now supports thread-level collection and kernel thread filtering; macOS and FreeBSD expose thread counts, network I/O (TCP/UDP), and resource usage; and Windows now provides detailed CPU, memory, disk, and network counters, along with user SID resolution, session IDs, and work directory information. The rewrite also introduces a configuration option to hide kernel threads across all supported platforms.

src/process · high confidence

Added a new .rpm/procs.spec file that defines the packaging metadata and build instructions for creating an RPM package for the 'procs' application, including build root configuration, installation steps, and file listing.

.rpm · high confidence

The procs package is updated to version 0.14.12, migrating to the Rust 2024 edition and raising the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) to 1.88. This release includes a comprehensive update of dependencies, notably upgrading clap to 4.4, toml to 1.1, and procfs to 0.18.0 on Linux/Android, while also enabling Link-Time Optimization (LTO) in the release profile.
