Hi Stephen,

Thanks for taking a look.

This could work if we are root, but the file permissions wouldn't
allow us to do the readlink on other processes otherwise. We want to
be able to capture the system state in production environments from
some trusted process with ptrace read capability.

I think since we have escaped the "\n" (seq_file_path(m, file, "\n")),
then user space might parse this line like:

if (strncmp(line, "path:\t", 6) == 0)
        char* path = line + 6;


Thanks,
