Does that mean the functionality of this command differs on these two
classes of systems?  If so, we could:

 (a) document the functionality on both classes, telling which parts
 work on what systems;

or

 (b) document the GNU/Linux functionality that you just added, and
 leave the docs of what the command does on ``real'' /proc systems as
 it is now.

The latter will probably be easier for you (no need to figure out code
written by someone else ;-), and it doesn't make the situation worse
than it is now.  So I won't object if you do only (b).  (If you do, it
is possible that the Linux-specific docs could go into a new
subsection of the "Native" node, where system-specific features are
described.

Does that address your concerns?
