I am constantly reading other code to implement that feature.  But
libgtop helped me the least for Solaris/Linux.  For FreeBSD it's gonna
be a good start.  But most probably I gonna work again with the ps and
top source to find my way.  Their code is a different way of ugly but
more appealing to me. (-:

But for me!  I am an Process Engineer, not Computer Scientist. (-:
