and there are a couple of bugs that need to be fixed to make it fully usable.

-use [[hurd/libnetfs]] rather than [[hurd/libtrivfs]]; the data format needs to
-change to be more Linux-compatible; and it needs adaptation to newer system
-interfaces.)
-
-This project requires learning [[hurd/translator]] programming, and
-understanding some of the internals of process management in the Hurd. It
-should not be too hard coding-wise; and the task is very nicely defined by the
-existing Linux `/proc` interface -- no design considerations necessary.
