+.\" commit 818411616baf46ceba0cff6f05af3a9b294734f7
+A space-separated list of child tasks of this task.
+Each child task is represented by its TID.
+.IP
+.\" see comments in get_children_pid() in fs/proc/array.c
+This option is intended for use by the checkpoint-restore (CRIU) system,
+and reliably provides a list of children only if all of the child processes
+are stopped or frozen.
+It does not work properly if children of the target task exit while
+the file is being read!
+Exiting children may cause non-exiting children to be omitted from the list.
+This makes this interface even more unreliable than classic PID-based
+approaches if the inspected task and its children aren't frozen,
+and most code should probably not use this interface.
+.IP
+Until Linux 4.2, the presence of this file was governed by the
+.B CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
+kernel configuration option.
+Since Linux 4.2,
+.\" commit 2e13ba54a2682eea24918b87ad3edf70c2cf085b
+it is governed by the
+.B CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN
+option.
