<h2>Make truss(1) able to work without procfs</h2>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:mux@FreeBSD.org">&a.mux;</a></p>
<p>Someone needs to finish the support for PT_SYSCALL in the ptrace()
subsystem, and add support for another ptrace() command that will replace
the PIOCWAIT and PIOCSTATUS ioctls of procfs (should probably be named
PT_WAIT), in order for truss(1) to be able to work without procfs.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>C knowledge.</li>
<li>Understanding of kernel debugging interfaces (ptrace, procfs, ...).</li>
</ul>
