SVR4 process information
------------------------

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

`info proc'
     Summarize available information about the process.

`info proc mappings'
     Report on the address ranges accessible in the program, with
     information on whether your program may read, write, or execute
     each range.
