;;; Commentary:

;; Proced makes an Emacs buffer containing a listing of the current processes
;; (using ps(1)).  You can use the normal Emacs commands to move around in
;; this buffer, and special Proced commands to operate on the processes listed.
;;
;; To autoload, use
;;     (autoload 'proced "proced" nil t)
;; in your .emacs file.
;;
;; Is there a need for additional features like:
;; - automatic update of process list
;; - sort by CPU time or other criteria
;; - filter by user name or other criteria

;;; Code:
