+// This file implements BSD-style setproctitle() for Linux.
+// It is written such that it can easily be compiled outside Chromium.
+//
+// The Linux kernel sets up two locations in memory to pass arguments and
+// environment variables to processes. First, there are two char* arrays stored
+// one after another: argv and environ. A pointer to argv is passed to main(),
+// while glibc sets the global variable |environ| to point at the latter. Both
+// of these arrays are terminated by a NULL pointer; the environment array is
+// also followed by some empty space to allow additional variables to be added.
+//
+// These arrays contain pointers to a second location in memory, where the
+// strings themselves are stored one after another: first all the arguments,
+// then the environment variables. The kernel will allocate a single page of
+// memory for this purpose, so the end of the page containing argv[0] is the
+// end of the storage potentially available to store the process title.
+//
+// When the kernel reads the command line arguments for a process, it looks at
+// the range of memory within this page that it initially used for the argument
+// list. If the terminating '\0' character is still where it expects, nothing
+// further is done. If it has been overwritten, the kernel will scan up to the
+// size of a page looking for another. (Note, however, that in general not that
+// much space is actually mapped, since argv[0] is rarely page-aligned and only
+// one page is mapped.)
+//
+// Thus to change the process title, we must move any environment variables out
+// of the way to make room for a potentially longer title, and then overwrite
+// the memory pointed to by argv[0] with a single replacement string, making
+// sure its size does not exceed the available space.
+//
+// It is perhaps worth noting that patches to add a system call to Linux for
+// this, like in BSD, have never made it in: this is the "official" way to do
+// this on Linux. Presumably it is not in glibc due to some disagreement over
+// this position within the glibc project, leaving applications caught in the
+// middle. (Also, only a very few applications need or want this anyway.)
