Subject: [proc.txt] Fix /proc/pid/statm documentation
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2004 19:10:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040805171049.GA13035@k3.hellgate.ch> (raw)
I really wanted /proc/pid/statm to die [1] and I still believe the
reasoning is valid. As it doesn't look like that is going to happen,
though, I offer this fix for the respective documentation.
Note: lrs/drs fields are switched.
