However experiments and the source code in /usr/src/sys/fs/procfs/procfs_status.c show that the contents of this field is the devname, or "-" if there is no controlling terminal. This was apparently changed in revision 1.56 of this file, with the commit message "Don't export major,minor, instead export tty name." >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
