- This file is used by most systems that implement /proc. For these systems,
- the general registers are laid out the same way in both the core file and
- the gregset_p structure. The current exception to this is Irix-4.*, where
- the gregset_p structure is split up into two pieces in the core file.
-
- The general register and floating point register sets are manipulated by
- separate ioctl's. This file makes the assumption that if FP0_REGNUM is
- defined, then support for the floating point register set is desired,
- regardless of whether or not the actual target has floating point hardware.
