Hello,

The attached patch implements system_process_attributes for OpenBSD.
With this I am able to use proced \o/

There are five stats that I don't know how to collect (cminflt, cmajflt,
cstime, ctime and thcount).  Everything else seem consistent with
top(1).

I avoided to dynamically allocate the args string and instead reused the
existing storage; this is similar to the freebsd code, but if it seems
ugly I can replace that with a calloc+strlcat like in the previous patch
sent to emacs-devel@.

Note: I don't know how sysctl behaves on other systems, but at least on
OpenBSD it's not possible to get the argv for every process.  In my
environment only for a couple of process the KERN_PROC_ARGV sysctl
fails.  So, it's possible to see some entries with `?' as `args' in
proced, but you can verify that it's "expected" by running "ps $PID" and
see that you get "(executable-name)" under the COMMAND column.  (top(1)
seems to just hide them)

Should the patch include an entry in etc/NEWS?

Thanks,

Omar Polo
