https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D283080 Bug ID: 283080 Summary: manpage of linprocfs(5) differs from reality Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: michaelo@FreeBSD.org CC: doc@FreeBSD.org The manpage says: FILES /compat/linux/proc/pid A directory containing process information for process pid. /compat/linux/proc/self A directory containing process information for the current process. * There is no "pid" directory, the 'pid' term should be denoted as a placeholder for the real PID. * There is no "self" directory, "self" is a symlink to a PID directory The manpage on RHEL 8 says: /proc/[pid] There is a numerical subdirectory for each running process; t= he subdirectory is named by the process ID. but as bad as: /proc/self This directory refers to the process accessing the /proc filesystem, and is identical to the /proc directory named by the process ID= of the same process. Both definitions confuse users. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
