-| [`process.command_args`](../attributes-registry/process.md) | string[] | All the command arguments (including the command/executable itself) as received by the process. On Linux-based systems (and some other Unixoid systems supporting procfs), can be set according to the list of null-delimited strings extracted from `proc/[pid]/cmdline`. For libc-based executables, this would be the full argv vector passed to `main`. | `[cmd/otecol, --config=config.yaml]` | `Conditionally Required` See alternative attributes below. | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |
-| [`process.command_line`](../attributes-registry/process.md) | string | The full command used to launch the process as a single string representing the full command. On Windows, can be set to the result of `GetCommandLineW`. Do not set this if you have to assemble it just for monitoring; use `process.command_args` instead. | `C:\cmd\otecol --config="my directory\config.yaml"` | `Conditionally Required` See alternative attributes below. | ![Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/-experimental-blue) |

+### Selecting process attributes
+
+At least one of the following attributes is required:
 
 * [`process.executable.name`](../attributes-registry/process.md)
 * [`process.executable.path`](../attributes-registry/process.md)
 * [`process.command`](../attributes-registry/process.md)
 * [`process.command_line`](../attributes-registry/process.md)
 * [`process.command_args`](../attributes-registry/process.md)
-<!-- endsemconv -->
 
 Between `process.command_args` and `process.command_line`, usually `process.command_args` should be preferred.
 On Windows and other systems where the native format of process commands is a single string,
 `process.command_line` can additionally (or instead) be used.
 
-For backwards compatibility with older versions of this semantic convention,
-it is possible but deprecated to use an array as type for `process.command_line`.
-In that case it MUST be interpreted as if it was `process.command_args`.
