Re: How to understand proc directory?


Siegfried,
To find the documentation about /proc look in the Documentation directory under your kernel source root directory under filesystems.
It is contained in a file name proc.txt. The path would be:
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt

Where is a good place to start learning about the proc directory? I'm not
all that familiar with it on *nix. Should I look in the cygwin documentation
or go to the forums on unix.org (where they specialize in *nix but not
cygwin)?

I tried "man proc" and "info proc" and that did not work. Is there some
documetation in c:\cygwin\usr\share? This directory tree seems to be
organized around applications, not special directories. I tried "man
cygcheck" but again, that seems to deal with applications, not directories.

Thanks,
Siegfried
