R: Query the ancestry of a process

ps_descent {ps} | R Documentation

## Query the ancestry of a process

### Description

Query the parent processes recursively, up to the first process. (On some platforms, like Windows, the process tree is not a tree and may contain loops, in which case `ps_descent()` only goes up until the first repetition.)

### Usage

    ps_descent(p = ps_handle())

### Arguments

`p` | Process handle.

### Value

A list of process handles, starting with `p`, each one is the parent process of the previous one.
