Well, I'm was looking to port some Linux apps that make system calls
like:

FILE    *fp_meminfo;
FILE    *fp_stat;
FILE    *fp_loadavg;


/*.....*/
 fp = fopen("/proc/uptime", "r");  
        fp_meminfo = fopen("/proc/meminfo", "r");
        fp_loadavg = fopen("/proc/loadavg", "r");
        fp_stat = fopen("/proc/stat", "r");

And I needed some FreeBSD equivalent files to open in /proc.  An example
would be

 fp_stat = fopen("/proc/stat", "r"); /*Linux*/

 fp_stat = fopen("/proc/curproc/status", "r"); /*FreeBSD*/

And the /proc/uptime probably has no equivalent /proc entry in FreeBSD,
so would likely have to use /kernel instead.

Another example is the line:

fp_meminfo = fopen("/proc/meminfo", "r"); /*Linux*/
fp_meminfo = fopen("/proc/curproc/mem", "r"); /*FreeBSD*/

etc.  I just needed some FreeBSD equivalent files for porting from Linux
to FreeBSD, like for wine, some load ave. utilities in WindowMaker, etc.
