Talk:Procfs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Procfs does not merely display information, but it can be used to implement kernel options (ie. ACPI) by for example using echo to change a proc value. However I am unclear on how the kernel treats procfs, does it read from the "file" constantly? John Riemann Soong 04:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Procfs does not contain "real" files, it is a virtual filesystem that communicates with the kernel. Techefnet 00:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
