The manual pages are woefully uninformative in respect to sloshing through
/dev/kmem (and probably with good reason :-)
Finding all of the processes for a user by tty would acutally not be that
difficult; you would simply use nlist() to find the _proc symbol in the
kernel, seek to the ``address'' given in /dev/kmem, and start reading, looking
for the correct line.
