Implementing the function pid_is_sleeping() is needed to show either the signal Stop or

The function get_task_list provides an empty but initialized GArray pointer as argument that

The function get_task_list() provides an empty but initialized GArray pointer as argument
that just has to be filled in with the current list of tasks. Note that GArray makes a copy
of the data type that it is passed to, don't allocate or free memory instead declare a Task
structure and pass it as is/as a copy to g_array_append_value().
If there are information you are unable to provide because unexistent on the system, fill in
these values with 0. A good example is the swap (sometimes because there is no swap set,
doesn't mean we have to show swap information), when the total equals to zero it is hidden
from the interface. The same can be applied to some of the CPU (system or user may be
useless) and memory information (buffer and/or cache may be left out).
