finding the u structure in /dev/mem on SYSV (how ?)

[Root Boy Jim]

? I am writing a routine to list UNIX processes and their respective ages.
? I need for the source to be reasonably portable across System V (or at
? least USG) breeds of machines.  Getting to the proc table seems simple
? and consistent:  use nl() to get proc address from /unix, seek to that address
? in /dev/kmem and read the first element in.  Any macros I need seem to be in
? sys/sysmacros.h.  The next problem is getting to the u structure in /dev/mem.

Just a side issue, but what if things change during your poking around in
/dev/{kmem,swap}? How do ps-like programs deal with such things?
