Subject: mmap a /proc/<pid>/mem file?

Hi,

Say I have a parent and a child processes. Can the parent process
access the child process memory using mmap() over /proc/<pid>/mem file
where <pid> is child's pid?

Google search returns that at some time in the past this was not
supported. Is it supported now?

Thanks
