Understanding the Linux Kernel’s proc File System

/proc is a special virtual file system. It does not exist on a physical disk but is dynamically generated by the kernel in memory. Its main purpose is to serve as an interface that allows user-space programs (such as ps, top, htop, etc.) to easily obtain runtime information about the kernel and processes, and in … Read more
