Hello, I wanted to know how to get the root dir of a process using sysctl or other libs, sysctl leads me to kinfo_proc where ki_pd contains pwddesc-> pd_pwd which only works in kernel? if not how to get it safely is there any way. Context: Im porting an app from Linux where the app reads from /proc/<pid>/root using readlink but since freebsd doesnt have it, how to emulated if it can be emulated. Thank You. -- Best Regards, Jishan Alam
