I cannot help you with that info ;-). > In man 5 proc > description of /proc/<number>/cmdline says that it contains complete > commandline of this process, > but in reality it seems to contain only arguments, not name of executable, > at least if i on commandline i type "vlc" > then /proc/$pid/cmdline is completely empty, > and i need to use /proc/$pid/exe to find executable . The above doesn't match what I see: $ sleep 100 & [2] 3712 $ od -a /proc/3712/cmdline 0000000 s l e e p nul 1 0 0 nul 0000012 Can you provide an example showing what you see? > Also (but less important) (Some of this must be debian-specific.) > man 5 proc 's SEE ALSO has some broken references : > chroot (2) - not found (is in section 8) > mmap (2) - not found (not here, eventhough i have libc-dev installed) > readlink (2) - not found (is in section 1) > syslog (2) - not found (not here ; looks like package rsyslogd's man 8 > rsyslog is standard) These are all present in upstream man-pages. > dmesg (8) - not found (package util-linux has section 1 manpage for it) I fixed the upstream page; s/8/1/ > hdparm (8) - not found (package hdparm has section 8 manpage for it) > procinfo (8) - not found (not here ; probably in package procinfo) Since these two pages are indeed present (but in other packages), I made no change there. (There's no good solution to the problem that on the one hand we want to refer to pages that may be in other packages, but on the other, those packages may not be installed.)
