+The
+.Fn kproc_kthread_add
+function is much like the 
+.Fn kproc_create
+function above except that if the kproc already exists,
+then only a new thread (see
+.Xr kthread 9 )
+is created on the existing process.
+The
+.Fa func
+argument specifies the function that the process should execute.
+The
+.Fa arg
+argument is an arbitrary pointer that is passed in as the only argument to
+.Fa func
+when it is called by the new process.
+The
+.Fa procptr
+pointer points to a
+.Vt "struct proc "
+pointer that is the location to be updated with the new proc pointer
+if a new process is created, or if not
+.Dv NULL ,
+must contain the process pointer for the already exisiting process.
+If this argument points to
+.Dv NULL ,
+then a new process is created and the field updated.
+If not NULL, the
+.Fa tdptr
+pointer points to a
+.Vt "struct thread "
+pointer that is the location to be updated with the new thread pointer.
+The
+.Fa flags
+argument specifies a set of flags as described in
+.Xr rfork 2 .
+The
+.Fa pages
+argument specifies the size of the new kernel thread's stack in pages.
+If 0 is used, the default kernel stack size is allocated.
+The procname argument is the name the new process should be given if it needs to be created.
+It is

+a printf style format specifier but a simple string.
+The rest of the arguments form a
+.Xr printf 9
+argument list that is used to build the name of the new thread and is stored
+in the

+member of the new thread's
+.Vt "struct thread" .
