It duplicates the contents of the argv[] array.  It's not entirely 
clear why they feel that argv[] isn't good enough.

I have to ask - why do you care?  I can think of much better things to 
do with my time than stare at the list of IRQ's in use - what do they

(If you need the information, try 'systat -vmstat'.)
