Getting ProcessInfo for NSRunningApplication

I am trying to build an app for MacOS in Swift to log some information about running applications. Some of the information which I would like to get are related to the corresponding processes (user, etc.), but it doesn't seem that I can get them from NSRunningApplication. So I was wondering is there any way to get ProcessInfos for NSRunningApplications? Unfortunately I couldn't find anything in Apple Developer Documentation.

You need to get the PID from NSRunningApplication's processIdentifier property, and then you can use sysctl to get information from the PID. See this answer:

It's in C, but it should give you the basic idea.
