You should /not/ be trying to access fields within it. In fact, I'm confused as to how this even compiles! Fortunately, there is a much better way to do this. Check out proc_name defined in <sys/proc.h> in the Kernel framework. Also, proc_self (from the same header) is a more modern way to get the current process. If you switch to that, please note that it gives you a reference to the current process that you then have to release using proc_rele. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
