+.SH NAME

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.IR /proc/ pid /comm " (since Linux 2.6.33)"
+.\" commit 4614a696bd1c3a9af3a08f0e5874830a85b889d4
+This file exposes the process's
+.I comm
+value\[em]that is, the command name associated with the process.
+Different threads in the same process may have different
+.I comm
+values, accessible via
+.IR /proc/ pid /task/ tid /comm .
+A thread may modify its
+.I comm
+value, or that of any of other thread in the same thread group (see
+the discussion of
+.B CLONE_THREAD
+in
+.BR clone (2)),
+by writing to the file
+.IR /proc/self/task/ tid /comm .
+Strings longer than
+.B TASK_COMM_LEN
+(16) characters (including the terminating null byte) are silently truncated.
+.IP
+This file provides a superset of the
+.BR prctl (2)
+.B PR_SET_NAME
+and
+.B PR_GET_NAME
+operations, and is employed by
+.BR pthread_setname_np (3)
+when used to rename threads other than the caller.
+The value in this file is used for the
+.I %e
+specifier in
+.IR /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern ;
+see
+.BR core (5).
