--/Uq4LBwYP4y1W6pO
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

A couple of months ago I was doing some work on guard pages in libc_r and
discovered that using 'cat' to view the VM map for a process is
unreliable.  This fact is documented in the proc code, and there is even an
explanation of how to reliably read the map files.  However, I could find
no program that actually does this, so I wrote one.

The program is attached (yes, it needs a man page if it is to be imported),
but my question is whether it belongs in the source tree, and if so, where?

Thanks,
Jason
