pidtree retrieves process IDs (PIDs) in a tree-like structure, starting from a given PID. This package is essential for process management tasks where understanding parent-child relationships is crucial. It supports various platforms and offers options for filtering and customizing the output. Unlike simple ps commands, pidtree provides a structured representation suitable for programmatic manipulation, useful in environments requiring detailed process monitoring or automated process control.
The npm package pidtree had its most active release month in March 2018 with 6 versions published. Release frequency declined sharply after that, with sporadic releases in March and April 2020, and June 2022. There have been no releases since June 2022, including the current month, September 2025.
Pidtree's npm package downloads show a strong upward trend from March 2024, peaking in July 2025 at nearly 68 million. August 2025 saw a slight decrease to around 60 million. September 2025 downloads are incomplete but indicate a significant drop, likely due to it not being a full month.
