From colleague:
Hello,
Are there any plans to expand the procfs implementation to provide an
interface that is more in line with the implementations on Unixware,
Solaris and AIX? I've been writing a simple debugger that would be
portable among those three platforms, and others, but it is based
completely on the procfs interface, and I've come to find out the
procfs implementation on FreeBSD and Linux are (aside from being
completely different from each other) completely different than what's
been done on AIX, Solaris and Unixware.
I managed to glean from <sys/procfs.h> that the FreeBSD implementation
is basically a barebones interface that is only there for gdb to work
with.
So has there been any talk of making the ctl file take
command/operands structs as input, and/or the status file offer
elaborate structures as output, or an lwp directory, etc?
Thanks for any information
Martin

And nothing now
Disturbeth his reflections.
