.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn pfind

.Fn zpfind
takes a

If
.Fn zpfind
finds a process whose PID is equal to that of argument
and is a zombie process, meaning that it must reside on the

list,

returns a pointer to that
.Vt proc
structure.
.Pp
Both
.Fn pfind
and
.Fn zpfind
lock the
.Vt proc
structure that is returned using
.Fn PROC_LOCK "p" .
.Sh RETURN VALUES

and
