  21    <p>Many versions of SVR4 provide a facility called <code>/proc</code> that can be
  22 used to examine the image of a running process using file-system
  23 subroutines.  If GDB is configured for an operating system with
  24 this facility, the command <code>info proc</code> is available to report on
  25 several kinds of information about the process running your program.
  26 <code>info proc</code> works only on SVR4 systems that include the
  27 <code>procfs</code> code.  This includes OSF/1 (Digital Unix), Solaris, Irix,
  28 and Unixware, but not HP-UX or Linux, for example.
