this is the c code to get the pids and %cpu n %mem in linux/unix

FILE *fp;
char pid[MAX]="ps -eo pid,pcpu,pmem";
fp=popen(pid,"r");
while (fgets(pid, MAX, fp)!=NULL)
printf("%s",pid);
pclose(fp);

in the above code:
if i give input as pid of a process, how can i get the %cpu and mem of that process only?

can someone gimme the code to it?

thanks in advance

ps -eo pid,pcpu,pmem | awk '{if ($1==<pid_here>) print "PID\tCPU\tMEM\n" $1 "\t"  $2 "\t"  $3}'

#example
ps -eo pid,pcpu,pmem | awk '{if ($1==1389) print "PID\tCPU\tMEM\n" $1 "\t"  $2 "\t"  $3}'

# output
PID     CPU     MEM
1389    0.0     0.4

hii i got that in shell scripting...


how do i do that in c code??

the c code which i have given has to work in linux.
i want to modify the code so that when given input by user->pid of a process, it shud give the %cpu and %mem...
like:

printf("enter the pid;
scanf("%d",pid);

....then i'm stuck here...

printf("enter the pid:");

typo

[pradeep]

FILE *fp;
  int p;
  printf('Enter pid: ');
  scanf("%d",p);
  
  char pid[MAX]=sprintf("ps -eo pid,pcpu,pmem | awk '{if ($1==%d) print \"PID\\tCPU\\tMEM\\n\" $1 \"\\t\"  $2 \"\\t\"  $3}'",p);
  fp=popen(pid,"r");
  while (fgets(pid, MAX, fp)!=NULL)
  printf("%s",pid);
  pclose(fp);

i'm getting the following errors for the line with sprintf


over.c:11: warning: passing arg 2 of `sprintf' makes pointer from integer without a cast
over.c:11: error: invalid initializer

can yu please tell me why is that?

[pradeep]

Sorry for the blunder,

//this
 scanf("%d",p);
// should be
  scanf("%d",&p);

[sandyk]

ohh i got that..
but sprintf is not working as in that is the thing which is showing errors.

[sandyk]

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#define MAX 1024

main()
{
FILE *fp;
int p,i;
char path[MAX]="ps -eo pid,pcpu,pmem";

//popen executes the command in the string

fp=popen(path,"r");

printf("Enter the pid:");
scanf("%d",&p);

while (fgets(path, MAX, fp)!=NULL) 
{
//check whether the pid is there or not

for(i=0;i<=MAX;i++)
{
if (path[i] == p)
printf("%s",pid);//print the cpu n mem of that pid
}
fflush(fp);
}
pclose(fp);
}

input=pid of a process
output=its corresponding %cpu and %mem

but this is not working...someone please help me compile it.

#include <stdio.h>

  fp=popen(pid,"r");
  while (fgets(out, MAX, fp)!=NULL)
    puts(out);

  pclose(fp);

    return 0;
