It is normally mounted on /proc, and is required for the complete operation of programs such as ps(1) and w(1). The fact is, both ps and w are not dependant on /proc at all, rather they make use of kvm. The fix will change to more correct wording. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- procfs.5 Fri Sep 12 14:12:17 2003 +++ /home/samy/development/freebsd/patches/doc/procfs.5 Wed Nov 12 16:20:58 2003 @@ -19,9 +19,11 @@ It is normally mounted on .Pa /proc , and is required for the complete operation of programs such as -.Xr ps 1 -and -.Xr w 1 . +.Xr truss 1 , +.Xr gcore 1 +and other applications that depend on the provided debugging facilities +and information. + .Pp The .Nm >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
