Manual page says:

---
     KERN_PROC
             Return selected information about specific running processes.

             For the following names, an array of pairs of struct proc fol-
             lowed by corresponding struct eproc structures is returned, whose
             size depends on the current number of such objects in the system.
---

I believe that this is no longer the case.

First off, as far as I understand it, 'struct eproc' is gone. Second problem is that this sysctl doesn't return any pairs,

What it actually returns is an array of 'struct kinfo_proc'.
