Ahhh -- sorry, I should have been a little clearer: what the page is referring to is the kernel source file include/linux/sched.h. In that file there are the definitions below. I'll amend the wording of the page a little to make this clearer: --- a/man5/proc.5 +++ b/man5/proc.5 @@ -702,8 +702,8 @@ terminal of the process. \fIflags\fP %u (%lu before Linux 2.6.22) The kernel flags word of the process.
