There is no mention of the need to include <sys/user.h> in order to 
expose the kinfo_proc.

It does mention (mainly) redundant information such as this:

The top level names are defined with a CTL_ prefix in <sys/sysctl.h>, and
      are as follows.  The next and subsequent levels down are found in the
      include files listed here, and described in separate sections below.

            Name              Next Level Names          Description
            CTL_DEBUG         <sys/sysctl.h> Debugging
            CTL_VFS           <sys/mount.h>             File system
            CTL_HW            <sys/sysctl.h> Generic CPU, I/O
            CTL_KERN          <sys/sysctl.h>            High kernel limits
            CTL_MACHDEP       <sys/sysctl.h> Machine dependent
            CTL_NET           <sys/socket.h> Networking
            CTL_USER          <sys/sysctl.h> User-level
            CTL_VM            <vm/vm_param.h>  Virtual memory

And yet not a mention of <sys/user.h>???

How about, at least something like "Applications examining records 
returned by KERN_PROC should include <sys/user.h> for the definition of 
struct kinfo_proc."


Thanks
