PId from a process name

[sabtain]

Is it possible to find out the pid of a process using process name?

Take a look at the source to slay or pidin. Basically you will have to traverse

/proc/[0-9]*/as with readdir and then issue a DCMD_PROC_MAPDEBUG_BASE devctl on each
to fetch out the name.

Unfortunately you have to go through every pid, fetch it's name, and check to see if
it matches the name you already have. That is what slay and pidin do.
