Hi,

while reading the /proc/[pid]/stat part in proc(5),
I noticed two minor issues that should be fixed:

1. The text reads:
     "flags %u (%lu before Linux 2.6.22) kernel flags word of the process.
      For bit meanings, see  the  PF_*  defines  in  <linux/sched.h>."

   PF_* is obvisously wrong. It should be CLONE_*.
I haven't looked closely, but I think PF_* is correct. Why do you
think it's wrong?
2. There is a wrong reference further below:
    "rsslim %lu  Current  soft  limit  in  bytes  on  the  rss of the
     process; see the description of RLIMIT_RSS in getpriority(2)."

   The correct page is getrlimit(2).
Yes. Thanks for that. Fixed now.

Cheers,

Michael
