Ana Process Explorer is a task manager for Microsoft Windows, written in pure C-89. This project was developed during the second semester by a team of four members at Shiraz University. It provides detailed insights into running processes, system resources, and CPU usage in a text-based user interface.
-
Textual User Interface: Ana Process Explorer features an efficient textual user interface for managing processes on your Windows system.
-
Extensibility: The codebase is designed to be loosely coupled, allowing developers to easily extend and build upon it for their own projects.
-
Well-Documented Code: The code is thoroughly documented, making it easy for developers to understand and modify.
The General tab displays a list of currently running processes and allows you to perform various actions on them.
- Process: Name of the process.
- PID: Process ID.
- Priority: Priority level of the process.
- WorkingSetSize: Amount of memory the process is using.
- Description: Description of the process.
- Company: Company associated with the process.
- Name: Executable name of the process.
Actions:
- Kill Process: Terminate the selected process.
- Kill Process Tree: Terminate the selected process and all its child processes.
- Set Process Priority: Change the priority of the selected process.
- Set Process WorkingSetSize: Adjust the memory usage of the selected process.
The Details tab provides in-depth information about a selected process.
- Process Name: Name of the process.
- Process ID: Process ID.
- Parent ID: ID of the parent process.
- Parent Name: Name of the parent process.
- Thread Count: Number of threads in the process.
- Module Count: Number of modules loaded by the process.
- Priority: Priority level of the process.
- Process Cycles: Number of process cycles.
- Page Fault Count: Number of page faults.
- Page File Usage: Page file usage by the process.
- Peak Page File Usage: Peak page file usage by the process.
- Peak Working Set Size: Peak working set size used by the process.
- Quota NonPaged Pool Usage: Quota non-paged pool usage by the process.
- Quota Paged Pool Usage: Quota paged pool usage by the process.
- Quota Peak NonPaged Pool Usage: Peak quota non-paged pool usage by the process.
In the Details tab, the CPU Usage (Graph) displays the CPU usage of the selected process over time as a graph.
The Modules tab lists the modules (DLLs) loaded by a selected process.
- Module Name: Name of the module.
- Base Size (KB): Base size of the module in kilobytes.
- Path: File path of the module.
The Threads tab displays information about threads associated with a selected process.
- Thread ID: Unique identifier for the thread.
- Thread Priority: Priority level of the thread.
- Thread Cycles: Number of thread cycles.
Actions:
- Resume Thread: Resume a suspended thread.
- Suspend Thread: Suspend a running thread.
- Set Thread Priority: Change the priority of the thread.
The Graphs tab allows you to visualize important system usage statistics using graphs. You can select from the following usage graphs:
- CPU Usage: Displays the CPU usage of the system.
- Commit Charge: Shows the commit charge of the system, indicating memory usage.
- Physical Usage: Visualizes the physical memory usage of the system.
The System Info tab provides general information about your computer and memory usage.
Computer Information:
- Processor Architecture: Architecture of your processor.
- Number Of Processors: Total number of processors.
- Min App Address: Minimum application address.
- Max App Address: Maximum application address.
Memory Information:
- Commit Total: Total committed memory.
- Commit Limit: Commit limit.
- Commit Peak: Peak commit usage.
- Physical Total (Pages): Total physical memory in pages.
- Physical Available (Pages): Available physical memory in pages.
- Total Page File (KB): Total page file size in kilobytes.
- Available Page File (KB): Available page file size in kilobytes.
- Total Virtual (KB): Total virtual memory in kilobytes.
- Available Virtual (KB): Available virtual memory in kilobytes.
- System Cache (Pages): System cache memory in pages.
- Kernel Total (Pages): Total kernel memory in pages.
- Kernel Paged (Pages): Kernel paged memory in pages.
- Kernel NonPaged (Pages): Kernel non-paged memory in pages.
