-.TH proc_pid_cmdline 5 2023-08-15 "Linux man-pages 6.7"
-.SH NAME
-/proc/pid/cmdline \- command line
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.TP
-.IR /proc/ pid /cmdline
-This read-only file holds the complete command line for the process,
-unless the process is a zombie.
-.\" In Linux 2.3.26, this also used to be true if the process was swapped out.
-In the latter case, there is nothing in this file:
-that is, a read on this file will return 0 characters.
-.IP
-For processes which are still running,
-the command-line arguments appear in this file
-in the same layout as they do in process memory:
-If the process is well-behaved,
-it is a set of strings separated by null bytes (\[aq]\e0\[aq]),
-with a further null byte after the last string.
-.IP
-This is the common case,
-but processes have the freedom to
-override the memory region and
-break assumptions about the contents or format of the
-.IR /proc/ pid /cmdline
-file.
-.IP
-If, after an
-.BR execve (2),
-the process modifies its
-.I argv
-strings, those changes will show up here.
-This is not the same thing as modifying the
-.I argv
-array.
-.IP
-Furthermore, a process may change the memory location that this file refers via
-.BR prctl (2)
-operations such as
-.BR PR_SET_MM_ARG_START .
-.IP
-Think of this file as the command line that the process wants you to see.
