Hi I'm trying to build a debugger-like program under ubuntu linux and I've run into some problems...

From what I've heard, the /proc vfs provides mechanisms to create watchpoints, but I can't seem to find out how.

Some man pages pointed me to 'control file's, supposedly located at /proc//ctl, but I can't find this file anywhere. (Perhaps this file is only for Solaris? Or maybe it's Ubuntu's fault?)

Thanks in advance to anyone familiar with this issue =)
