Looking at the kernel source[1] however, I see that the field is not hard coded as 0 but instead has been removed completely. Since this may result in a one-off when searching for a specific field, it should be documented correctly. Best regards, Andre [1] compare the relevant file of 2.6.16 and 2.6.17=20 sources: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.16/fs/proc/array.c#L415 http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.17/fs/proc/array.c#L413 --=20 Andre Landwehr, Ricklinger Stadtweg 42, D-30459 Hannover --=-OixcBlgCXxKcvcOZwJjc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkxQAIwACgkQC3ZlGS1b0mPMKACgyxDTUGqDkv2nfrVd5mRDMbCu zc4AoJcKqenHF9Znms+EUHFdW1pxIHEe =nQBu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-OixcBlgCXxKcvcOZwJjc-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
