The idea of processizer is to list all running processes on the Mac and display the man page description inline. If there is no man page description, eventually this process would reach out to an external API and try to find a match, which it would cache locally. Holistically, the idea is to know what's running on your system.

processizer

#!/usr/bin/env bash

function get_process_description {

    local __page=$(MANWIDTH=200 man "$@" 2>&1 | col -bx)
    local __desc=$(echo "$__page" | pcregrep -M -o2 '(DESCRIPTION)\n(.*)' | sed -e :a -e '/./,$!d;/^\n*$/{$d;N;};/\n$/ba')

    if [[ -z "$__desc" ]]; then
        return 2
    else
        echo $__page
    fi

    return 0
}

PROCESS_IDS=$(ps -xo pid | grep -v PID)

for PROCESS_ID in $PROCESS_IDS ; do
    PROCESS_PATH=$(ps -o command $PROCESS_ID | grep -v COMMAND | grep -o '^[^\-]' | tr -d '\n')
    if [ ! -z "$PROCESS_PATH" ]; then
        PROCESS_NAME=$(basename "$PROCESS_PATH")
        PROCESS_DESC=$(get_process_description "$PROCESS_NAME")
        
        echo "PID: $PROCESS_ID"
        echo "Name: $PROCESS_NAME"

        if [ ! -z "$PROCESS_DESC" ]; then
            echo "Description: $PROCESS_DESC"
        fi

        echo "---"
    fi
done
