It is used by ps(1) for the WCHAN field, which gives the kernel
function where the process in question is sleeping. You can update it
by using psupdate(8).
To my knowledge, it is not used by anything else.
Guys: Why is psupdate's man page header "FREE(8)"? And why are top(1)
and utmp(5) listed in the "See also" section? And why do they call them
"apartments" when they're so close together?
