Answer / srinivasan rajagopalan
/proc is virtual file system.
The Linux kernel has two primary functions: to control
access to physical devices on the computer and to schedule
when and how processes interact with these devices.
The /proc/ directory ? also called the proc file system ?
contains a hierarchy of special files which represent the
current state of the kernel ? allowing applications and
users to peer into the kernel's view of the system.
Within the /proc/ directory, one can find a wealth of
information detailing the system hardware and any processes
currently running. In addition, some of the files within
the /proc/ directory tree can be manipulated by users and
applications to communicate configuration changes to the
kernel.
