Description
Queries process list.macOS and Windows manage processes differently, so we have same and different fields.
| Field | Description |
| active | Whether application is active/frontmost. |
| hidden | Whether application is hidden on macOS. |
| executableArchitecture | The architecture on macOS, e.g. X86_64 or ARM64. |
| bundleIdentifier | The bundle identifier on macOS. |
| executablePath | The file path to the application. Not available on Windows for system processes. |
| current | Whether this is current process. |
| executableName | The name of the app. |
| localizedName | The localized name on macOS for the application. |
| processIdentifier | The process identifier number. |
| numberOfThreads | The number of threads on Windows. |
| parentProcessIdentifier | The parent process identifier on Windows. |
The linux implementation provides processIdentifier, parentProcessIdentifier, current, numberOfThreads, executablePath and executableName fields. In addition we add a state, currentWorkingDirectory and the cmdline fields. Not all fields are always available due to permission issues.
