I have a want to find the current working directory of ANY process,
not necessarily a child, sibling, parent, 1st cousin, etc.
I can get at the kernel's idea of a process' cwd and root directory,
the vnode structs from the user struct. But I haven't got the foggiest
idea how to turn them into path-names.
Any pointers? [pun intended]
Adthanksvance.
