Thanks. I'm embarrassed to say that function has been broken ever since I added it 4 years ago (307aa874720e9a0d9056ba9f015b98cec2f9336c)!

Heh no problem, thanks for merging so quickly :) I was hoping if you are willing to expose /proc/X/mem file out, so we can read/write to a process virtual memory (now that AUXV is valid it makes more sense)

What do you think?

This fix has been released in procfs v0.13.1. Note that this change is technically an API breaking change, but since this function has been broken for 4 years, I feel confident that no one was actually using it (except you 😄 ) Thanks again for the fix

That's awesome thank you!
