In BSD /proc/<a pid> contains [marcov@dragon ~]$ ls /proc/44539 cmdline ctl etype file map rlimit status [marcov@dragon ~]$ but afaik BSDs can turn /proc off, and this is commonly done so on servers. /proc is only a SysV compatibility feature there, most BSD-own tools work via other interfaces (like sysctl(3)) Turning it off is getting rarer though (probably linux converging). -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
