externally accessing process environment

[Chris Grevstad]

Running 4.2BSD on an Integrated Solutions 68010 machine.  What I would
like to know is if there is some way for a process to examine the
environment of a non-related process.  What I want in particular is a
way to determine, from an external process, a terminal's type without resorting
to the possibly inaccurate file /etc/ttytype. The examining process is running
as root.

NOTE:  This is NOT the case of a process trying to determine it's own
environment.

Thanks for any advice that you can give me.
