I see and I assume calling a random collection of data
u.something
in BSD was even more logical 8)
current is a completely rational name. The problem with current on some of our ports right now is that its a #define. That is a trap for the unwary and one day wants fixing.
curproc would be incorrect for linux since its the current task, and a task and unix process are not the same thing
