Alex K. asked: : A brief observation that on my system, cat of /proc/<pid>/cmdline gives : the cmdline minus spaces between the arguments. Is this correct, : is my system in need of an upgrade somewhere, or is it an error?
It's correct. Pipe the cat to cat -v and you can see the NULLs between the arguments, exactly as they are in argv[]:
~; cat /proc/248/cmdline | cat -v xterm^@-ls^@-sl^@500^@-font^@7x13^@-sb^@-bg^@black^@-fg^@white
The obvious 'cat -v /proc/248/cmdline' doesn't work, not for me at least -- anyone know why?
