what is stored in /proc ?
what is significance of /proc in linux ?

Answer Posted / sandeep b

Proc is a psuedo file system so nothing is actually stored.
A read results in a call to function inside the kernel which
provides the information we see.
It makes information about the kernel and hardware available
to the user.
