No, w currently uses readproctab so with newlib he'll
procps_pids_new
procps_pids_reap
...
procps_pids_unref

Also why read_open and read_shut? is this to differentiate from the
other access method?

i would of thought the file method would work.
fopen
while fgets
fclose

eg procps_pids_open, procps_pids_read, procps_pids_close

We still new procps_pids_new, and I fell in love with the 4 letter suffix. Plus, my names sort better I think.
