    Default How to get the Process ID of my QApplication ?

    Hi,

    does anyone know how to determine the PID of a QApplication from within the application itself ? I've been searching for a while now and I didn't find a solution...

    I guess that will be platform dependant.... look into the system api's of the os u are using..

    Well, my application supports 3 platforms (Linux, Win, Mac), so a platform independant solution would be very helpful...
    There are so many OS-functions available, but this seems to be a gap
    I just wonder why class QProcess provides such a pid()-function...
    However, thanks for your reply !

    Great, that's what I've been looking for ! Thanks !
    I checked documentation of QCoreApplication multiple times but I didn't see it...
