-A space-separated list of child tasks of this task.

-This option is intended for use by the checkpoint-restore (CRIU) system,
-and reliably provides a list of children only if all of the child processes
-are stopped or frozen.
-It does not work properly if children of the target task exit while
-the file is being read!
-Exiting children may cause non-exiting children to be omitted from the list.
-This makes this interface even more unreliable than classic PID-based
-approaches if the inspected task and its children aren't frozen,
-and most code should probably not use this interface.
