Full Version: who writes to /proc
does the kernel write to /proc when booting? just curious because when i boot to a different kernel with a different acpi setup or none at all the /proc/acpi has different enteries
The kernel CREATES /proc on boot. It's a VIRTUAL fs.
The /proc directory contains virtual files that are windows into the current state of the running Linux kernel. This allows the user to peer into a vast array of information, effectively providing them with the kernel's point-of-view within the system. In addition, the user can use the /proc directory to communicate particular configuration changes to the kernel.
