rsps

A command line tool to help find and debug Rust programs on your machine. Inspired by gops and a fit of boredom.

This only works if the binaries haven't be stripped beforehand.

Installation

$ cargo install rsps

Usage

List (default)

Lists all running Rust processes.

$ rsps # or rsps list
PID    Parent  Name  Command            Rust Ver.  Program Ver.
34107  10940   rsps  target/debug/rsps  1.52.1     0.3.1
34106  11719   rg    /usr/local/bin/rg  <unknown>  <unknown>

Tree

Displays Rust processes in a tree-like format.
