Source code for "pgrep"

[Deniz Dogan]

Hello.

I am writing a program which has to send a signal (SIGUSR2 F.Y.I.) to a
certain process, which I only know the name of, i.e. I need the PID for
that process. How can I do this in C or C++?
Also, I want to know where I can find the source code for the "pgrep"
program.

Thanks in advance.

This question would be better asked in comp.unix.programmer or a
newsgroup specific to your actual operating system.

Also, I want to know where I can find the source code for the "pgrep"
program.

You can find source code for 'pgrep' on Solaris box here
