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?

To my understanding, flags contains process flags (i.e., CLONE_*), which
are defined in <linux/sched.h>. PF_* flags, on the other hand, specify
protocol flags. Those are not related to <linux/sched.h> at all, but defined
in <bits/socket.h>

Ahh -- yes, an easy mistake to make I think. The thing is there are
two unrelated sets of constants in the PF_* namespace. Take a look in
linux/sched.h to see the other set, which is (AFAICS) the set that is
used in this /proc file.

Cheers,

Michael
