When true,
process_iter()
will yield new process only (meaning new PIDs appeared since last call):This comes from a real-world use case I bumped into: I spawn a subprocess but don't know its PID, so I look for it by checking the command line of all processes. Instead of iterating over all processes, I want to iterate over new PIDs only (faster).
