N.B. Windows x64 + iojs <= 1.3 has error when build.

Example: simple info

var tasks = require("process-list");

tasks.snapshot(function(err, data){
	console.log(data);
});

// output
// ["1.exe", "2.exe", ... ]

Example 2: Extended info

var tasks = require("process-list");

tasks.snapshot({verbose:true}, function(err, data){
	console.log(data);
});

// output
// [{
// 		name: "1.exe",              // process name
// 		path: "c:\\windows\\1.exe", // full path to process (if available)
// 		threads: 5, 
// 		owner:"root",
// 		pid: 1234,                  // process pid
// 		ppid: 12,                   // parent ptocess pid
//	    priority: 15                // process priority (OS specific value)
// }, ... ]

Example 3: Sync API

var tasks = require("process-list");
console.log(tasks.snapshotSync());
