processes or threads

[Salvatore D'Angelo]

Hi all,

Can someone of you tell me if there is a way to understand (in user space
through proc filesystem) if a thread (or process) has been created using a
fork or a clone. I am writing a small library that parse the proc
filesystem to get all the processes currently in execution.

The problem is that the client application need only the processes created
with the fork system call.

I tried to understand the solution looking at the linux source code and
making a search on the MARC mail list but I haven't found the solution.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
