https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16615 Issue ID: 16615 Summary: std.process is missing functionality for child processes Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: phobos Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: andre s-e-a-p.de std.process has no functionality to get the Pids of child processes. This is for example an issue if you want to use function kill to kill a process tree. Of course you can use system specific functionality to retrieve the processIDs of the child processes, but then again you have the issue there is no function to convert a processID to a Pid, as kill expects a pid. I would be if a function is included in std.process to kill a pid and which also kills all child processes. In addition a function would be nice, which returns the direct child pid of a given pid.
