+--------------------------------------------------------
+These files provide a method to access a tasks comm value. It also allows for
+a task to set its own or one of its thread siblings comm value. The comm value
+is limited in size compared to the cmdline value, so writing anything longer
+then the kernel's TASK_COMM_LEN (currently 16 chars) will result in a truncated
+comm value.
