Remove the detailed description of the files in /proc

and instead refer the reader to procfs(5) so that
the information does not need to be maintained in
two places.

-Each directory contains several files.
-.Bl -tag -width status
-.It Pa ctl
-a writeonly file which supports a variety
-of control operations.
-Control commands are written as strings to the
-.Pa ctl
-file.
-The control commands are:
-.Bl -tag -width detach -compact
-.It attach
-stops the target process and arranges for the sending
-process to become the debug control process.
-.It detach
-continue execution of the target process and
-remove it from control by the debug process (which
-need not be the sending process).
-.It run
-continue running the target process until
-a signal is delivered, a breakpoint is hit, or the
-target process exits.
-.It step
-single step the target process, with no signal delivery.
-.It wait
-wait for the target process to come to a steady
-state ready for debugging.
-The target process must be in this state before
-any of the other commands are allowed.
-.El
-.Pp
-The string can also be the name of a signal, lower case
-and without the
-.Dv SIG
-prefix,
-in which case that signal is delivered to the process
-(see
-.Xr sigaction 2 ).
-.It Pa file
-A reference to the vnode from which the process text was read.
-This can be used to gain access to the process' symbol table,
-or to start another copy of the process.
-.It Pa mem
-The complete virtual memory image of the process.
-Only those address which exist in the process can be accessed.
-Reads and writes to this file modify the process.
-Writes to the text segment remain private to the process.
-.It Pa note
-Not implemented.
-.It Pa notepg
-Not implemented.
-.It Pa regs
-Allows read and write access to the process' register set.
-This file contains a binary data structure
-.Dv "struct regs"
-defined in
-.Pa <machine/reg.h> .
-.Pa regs
-can only be written when the process is stopped.
-.It Pa fpregs
-The floating point registers as defined by
-.Dv "struct fpregs"
-in
-.Pa <machine/reg.h> .
-.Pa fpregs
-is only implemented on machines which have distinct general
-purpose and floating point register sets.
-.It Pa status
-The process status.
-This file is readonly and returns a single line containing
-multiple space-separated fields as follows:
-.Pp
-.Bl -bullet -compact
-.It
-command name
-.It
-process id
-.It
-parent process id

-process group id
-.It
-session id
-.It
-.Ar major,minor
-of the controlling terminal, or
-.Dv -1,-1
-if there is no controlling terminal.
-.It
-a list of process flags:
-.Dv ctty
-if there is a controlling terminal,
-.Dv sldr
-if the process is a session leader,
-.Dv noflags
-if neither of the other two flags are set.
-.It
-the process start time in seconds and microseconds,
-comma separated.

-.It
-the process credentials consisting of
-the effective user id
-and the list of groups (whose first member
-is the effective group id)
-all comma separated.

-In a normal debugging environment,
-where the target is fork/exec'd by the debugger,
-the debugger should fork and the child should stop
-itself (with a self-inflicted
-.Dv SIGSTOP
-for example).
-The parent should issue a
-.Dv wait
-and then an
-.Dv attach
-command via the appropriate
-.Pa ctl
-file.
-The child process will receive a
-.Dv SIGTRAP
-immediately after the call to exec (see
-.Xr execve 2 ).
