Hey I wrote the last update to this file about exactly one year ago, and 
I wrote it for the same reasons as you.

I needed some info about some files and fields in the proc tree, and the 
responses was 1) read proc.txt (seriously out of date) and 2) look at 
the source Luke.

So I also got tired of seeking & greping around the code and wrote a 
small update, nice to see someone updated it again.

P.D. It should be updated by the people who updates the interface, at 
least minimally, the name and meaning of the fields or where to look.
