Package: manpages
Version: 3.05-1

Hello Martin 'Joey' Schulze,
i hope you are well.

In man 5 proc
description of /proc/<number>/cmdline says that it contains complete 
commandline of this process,
but in reality it seems to contain only arguments, not name of executable,
at least if i on commandline i type "vlc"
 then /proc/$pid/cmdline is completely empty,
 and i need to use /proc/$pid/exe to find executable .

Also (but less important)
man 5 proc 's SEE ALSO has some broken references :
 chroot  (2)     - not found (is in section 8)
 mmap    (2)     - not found (not here, eventhough i have libc-dev installed)
 readlink (2)    - not found (is in section 1)
 syslog  (2)     - not found (not here ; looks like package rsyslogd's man 8 
rsyslog is standard)
 dmesg   (8)     - not found (package util-linux has section 1 manpage for it)
 hdparm  (8)     - not found (package hdparm has section 8 manpage for it)
 procinfo (8)    - not found (not here ; probably in package procinfo)

Thanks for maintaining these manpages.

Siward de Groot
