Yes; it's actually the -f that's important here (-a means all users'
processes, -x means include those with no controlling terminal). There's
also a pstree command that includes less information and formats
differently; on my machine now its output starts like:
init-+-RunCache---squid-+-5*[dnsserver]
| |-ftpget
| |-pinger
| `-unlinkd
|-Xvt6start---XF86_SVGA
|-Xvt7start---XF86_SVGA
