Q4 is a kernel file analysis tool, provided by HP as user-contributed
software.  It will show, among other things, some kernel structure
definitions, including the one for the proc structure.  Assuming
the q4 package has been installed, and you have read access to
/dev/mem, do this to get the proc structure definition:

	$ /usr/contrib/bin/q4 /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
	...
	q4> fields -c struct proc
