/proc (the process file system) for System V has existed within AT&T
for several years and will likely be included in a future release of
the system.  In addition to the capabilities described in Tom Killian's
USENIX paper several years ago it contains substantial improvements
including selective system call interception and dissociation of the
user interface from internal system details (such as the proc and user
structures).  The implementation is also more portable, and works over
RFS (so that, for example, processes running on remote machines can be
traced or debugged).
