3Introduction:
4-------------
5
6 This is pstree V 2.39. It is a small program that shows the ps
7 listing as a tree (as the name implies...). It has several options
8 to make selection criteria and to change the output style.
9
10 It should compile under most unixes, tested are AIX, Linux, HP-UX,
11 A/UX, SunOS, Solaris, (Free|Open|Net)BSD, MacOSX/Darwin, and others.
12
13 Under AIX & Linux, pstree directly reads the process table using
14 getproc()/getuser() or the /proc file system. Under all other
15 Un*xes pstree reads the output of /bin/ps.
16
17 If process group information is available, process group leaders
18 are marked with a '=' instead of '-'.
