Hi!

I'm considering making sashimi of prctl(2), similar to what I did
recently to proc(5).  Another precedent is in ioctl(2).

I'm still unsure about the naming scheme.  I've thought of the following
(using prctl(PR_CAP_AMBIENT, ...) for the example):

-  prctl_cap_ambient(2)
-  prctl_PR_CAP_AMBIENT(2)
-  prctl_CAT_AMBIENT(2)

The upper-/lower-case mix shouldn't be a problem, since man(1) is case-
insensitive (mostly).

Any opinions on this or other aspects of the split?

Have a lovely day!
Alex
