For standard ones, they are pre-done for you under  the 
`core.sys.posix` D package namespace (or `core.sys.linux` for 
Linux-specific ones).

For ones not in the standard... it depends. I don't know the 
libprocps one, but I can say in general:

I say do the bare minimum that works for you. Just the functions, 
structs, and values you use. And if you are using structs 
exclusively via pointers, you don't even need their definitions; 
you can cheat and use void* instead.
