Depends very much on the OS; in the old days, it would contain the
"u. area" but those days are now (mostly?) gone and the data is
presented in a more permanent fashion.

In Solaris, all the relevant information is now contained in an
Elf NOTE section (this contains process status, credential, information
about the OS, status of all the lwps, and more)
