any body know what's the new name of that field....? or it equivalent to get a comand name from the u area..? trougth procp struct

Hi Samuel,

I don't know for sure what you really want to get... but however, the procp is supposed to point to a proc structure. Since we are supporting kernel threads there is no procp in the mpinfo struct. Instead there is a threadp pointing to a thread. And from there you can get to the proc. :-)

q4> load struct mpinfo from mpproc_info
loaded 1 struct mpinfo as an array (stopped by max count)
q4> load struct kthread from threadp
loaded 1 struct kthread as an array (stopped by max count)
q4> load struct proc from kt_procp
loaded 1 struct proc as an array (stopped by max count)
q4> print p_pid p_comm
p_pid p_comm
8784 "q4.11.22l"

Best regards...
Dietmar.
