.Nm \&procctl
clears the
.Xr procfs 5
event mask used by
.Xr truss 1 .
This can be used in the event that a process is left stranded, since
the
.Xr procfs 5
events result in a non-killable process.
The options are a list of process ID's;
.Nm \&procctl
goes through the list and clears the event masks for each specified process.
