ProcessHandle.Info (Java SE 9 & JDK 9 ) (original) (raw)

• Enclosing interface:
  ProcessHandle

public static interface ProcessHandle.Info
Information snapshot about the process. The attributes of a process vary by operating system and are not available in all implementations. Information about processes is limited by the operating system privileges of the process making the request. The return types are Optional<T> allowing explicit tests and actions if the value is available.

• • Method Detail

     * #### command  
     [Optional](../../java/util/Optional.html "class in java.util")<[String](../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang")> command​()  
     Returns the executable pathname of the process.  
     Returns:  
     an `Optional<String>` of the executable pathname of the process  
     * #### commandLine  
     [Optional](../../java/util/Optional.html "class in java.util")<[String](../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang")> commandLine​()  
     Returns the command line of the process.  
      If [command()](../../java/lang/ProcessHandle.Info.html#command--) and [arguments()](../../java/lang/ProcessHandle.Info.html#arguments--) return non-empty optionals, this is simply a convenience method which concatenates the values of the two functions separated by spaces. Otherwise it will return a best-effort, platform dependent representation of the command line.  
     API Note:  
     Note that the returned executable pathname and the arguments may be truncated on some platforms due to system limitations.  
      The executable pathname may contain only the name of the executable without the full path information. It is undecideable whether white space separates different arguments or is part of a single argument.  
     Returns:  
     an `Optional<String>` of the command line of the process  
     * #### arguments  
     [Optional](../../java/util/Optional.html "class in java.util")<[String](../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang")[]> arguments​()  
     Returns an array of Strings of the arguments of the process.  
     API Note:  
     On some platforms, native applications are free to change the arguments array after startup and this method may only show the changed values.  
     Returns:  
     an `Optional<String[]>` of the arguments of the process  
     * #### startInstant  
     [Optional](../../java/util/Optional.html "class in java.util")<[Instant](../../java/time/Instant.html "class in java.time")> startInstant​()  
     Returns the start time of the process.  
     Returns:  
     an `Optional<Instant>` of the start time of the process  
     * #### totalCpuDuration  
     [Optional](../../java/util/Optional.html "class in java.util")<[Duration](../../java/time/Duration.html "class in java.time")> totalCpuDuration​()  
     Returns the total cputime accumulated of the process.  
     Returns:  
     an `Optional<Duration>` for the accumulated total cputime  
     * #### user  
     [Optional](../../java/util/Optional.html "class in java.util")<[String](../../java/lang/String.html "class in java.lang")> user​()  
     Return the user of the process.  
     Returns:  
     an `Optional<String>` for the user of the process
