If you are trying to use this header in a kernel extension, you may not fully understand the programming model. Nothing in /usr/include is usable in the kernel or its extensions. Nothing in /usr/lib is usable in the kernel. Some functions and definitions that occur in / usr/include may be provided by the kernel, but they aren't really the same. Can I use <sys/proc.h> and extern_proc with current_proc() to get at the pid? You should review the KPI documents to see how to interact with the kernel.
