prctl is a Linux-kernel-specific syscall. The comment is describing what that syscall does in terms of Linux /proc datastructures. Are you using GNU/ because it also refers to userspace programs rather than purely to the kernel, even though "top" and "ps" are not GNU programs? -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
