I have a short snippet of a code mentioned below:
//---------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
pid_t pid = getpid();
system("ps aux");
printf("PID: %llu\n", pid);
return 0;
}
//---------------------------------------------
After compiling the code in MinGW 64-bit bash terminal, I get the
following output:
####### Console output
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
1785 1 1785 1640 ? 197609 12:53:28 /usr/bin/mintty
1786 1785 1786 12684 pty0 197609 12:53:29 /usr/bin/bash
2066 1 2065 13916 pty0 197609 13:20:00 /usr/bin/ps
2065 1786 2065 14420 pty0 197609 13:20:00
/home/Ameya/apps/src/pth_test/get_pid
PID: 14420
#######
The print PID: 14420 is returning the WINPID from the `ps aux`
command, whereas the value is equal to PID when trying to run from
MSYS2 terminal.
Is there an API in MinGW to get the PID value from the ps aux command?
I actually need this value in an application I am working on using the
MinGW tools as a base platform.
Thanks in advance.
