hi ,

i want to read some of the fields from /proc/pid/stat file and get those information stored in some variables.so how can i scan the fileds from stat file where the fileds are not similar and i want certain fields like pid, process name, ppid, times,euid,egid(if there) form that file. can anyone guide me?

also tell me where can i find user name from /proc?

man proc will be your friend. Stat is nicely explained there.
