- * it is not possible to have a single process handling

- * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

+ result in the symbol name with ('S') or without ('s') offsets. Where
+ this is used on a kernel without KALLSYMS - the symbol address is
+ printed instead.
+
+ The 'B' specifier results in the symbol name with offsets and should be
+ used when printing stack backtraces. The specifier takes into
+ consideration the effect of compiler optimisations which may occur
+ when tail-call's are used and marked with the noreturn GCC attribute.
+
+ On ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 architectures function pointers are
+ actually function descriptors which must first be resolved. The 'F' and

+
+Kernel Pointers:
+
+ %pK 0x01234567 or 0x0123456789abcdef
+

+ %pM 00:01:02:03:04:05
+ %pMF 00-01-02-03-04-05
+ %pm 000102030405
+
+ For printing 6-byte MAC/FDDI addresses in hex notation. The 'M' and 'm'

+ separators. The default byte separator is the colon (':').
+
+ Where FDDI addresses are concerned the 'F' specifier can be used after
+ the 'M' specifier to use dash ('-') separators instead of the default
