Hi all, 'man proc' suggests that via the /proc/<pid>/mem entry one can access the pages of a process's memory through open, read and fseek. `strace'ing cat suggests that it uses open, read and fseek syscalls. But when I do 'cat /proc/<pid>/mem' open works but read fails. Output says mem: No such process. I don't get this behavior. Somebody please explain.
