-        // * Memory efficiency: It avoids crashing the panicking process due to
-        //   out-of-memory (OOM) conditions by not using large heap buffers or
-        //   allocating significant stack space, which could lead to stack overflow.
-        // * Minimal binary size: The function uses a minimal set of facilities
-        //   from the standard library to avoid increasing the resulting binary size.
-        //
-        // To achieve these goals, the function does not use `[std::io::BufReader]`
-        // and instead reads the file byte by byte using a sliding window approach.
-        // It's important to note that the "/proc/self/status" pseudo-file is synthesized
-        // by the Virtual File System (VFS), meaning it is not read from a slow or
-        // non-volatile storage medium so buffering might not be as beneficial because
-        // all data is read from memory, though this approach does incur a syscall for
-        // each byte read.
-        //
-        // We cannot make assumptions about the file size or the position of the
-        // target prefix ("TracerPid:"), so the function does not use

-        // conversion, or parsing as we're looking for an ASCII prefix.

-        // of searching for a string in a text file.
