Just curious, but what exactly does that '/proc/*/cmdline' thing
"do", and is there any reason why it is inappropriate for it to be a
standard part of our /proc?
When talkign with friends that use Linux, and talking about our
/proc file system, they think its hilarious that I can't go into proc and
find out what irqs are being used by the system...maybe I'm missing
something, but about the only way I can do it currently is to look through
dmesg output? Is there another way?
