36 * procctl -- clear the event mask, and continue, any specified processes.
37 * This is largely an example of how to use the procfs interface; however,
38 * for now, it is also sometimes necessary, as a stopped process will not
39 * otherwise continue. (This will be fixed in a later version of the
40 * procfs code, almost certainly; however, this program will still be useful
41 * for some annoying circumstances.)
