fs28 The NSProcessInfo class provides methods to access process-wide information. An NSProcessInfo object can return such information as the arguments, environment, host name, or process name. The b processInfob0 class method returns an NSProcessInfo object. For example, the following code creates an NSProcessInfo object, which then provides the name of the current process:

fs28 fi-6552 + (NSProcessInfo *)b processInfob0 tab Returns the NSProcessInfo object for the process. It is already initialized. An NSProcessInfo object is created the first time this method is invoked, and that same object is returned on each subsequent invocation.

fs28 fi-6552 {f3 -} (NSArray *)b argumentsb0 tab Returns the arguments as an array of NSStrings from the command line.

fs28 fi-6552 {f3 -} (NSDictionary *)b environmentb0 tab Returns a dictionary of variables defined for the environment from which the process was launched.

fs28 fi-6552 {f3 -} (NSString *)b hostNameb0 tab Returns the name of the host system.
fi-6552 fs16
fs28 fi-6552 {f3 -} (NSString *)b processNameb0 tab Returns the name of the process under which this program'27s user defaults domain is created, and is the name used in error messages. It does not uniquely identify the process.
fi-6552 fs16
fs28 fi-6552 {f3 -} (NSString *)b globallyUniqueStringb0 tab Returns a globally unique string to identify the process. This method uses the host name, process ID, and a timestamp to ensure that the string returned will be globally unique.

fs28 fi-6552 {f3 -} (void)b setProcessName:b0 (NSString *)i newNamei0 tab Sets the name of the process to i newNamei0 . Warning: Aspects of the environment like userDefaults might depend on the process name, so be very careful if you change this. Setting the process name this way is not thread-safe.
