Fixed buffer size for /proc/<pid>/cmdline and not able to see the full command line argument string for a process.

[Rodrick Brown]

Its seems the max buffer size for /proc/<pid>/cmdline is 4096 bytes is
there any other way to pull the full command line argument out of the
kernel for a particular process? Obviously the kernel is able to read
the full command line string without any problems but its only writing
the first 4096 bytes to /proc/pid/cmdline  

 

$ cat /proc/29378/cmdline | wc -c

4096
