The /proc file system is not a real file system. It is a "pseudo-file system", see "man proc". AFAIK, it is under the control of the kernel and doesn't or may not act as one may expect. I'm not into kernel development. So, the what is and wherefores are outside of my pay grade. I just accept that "this is the way things work" in this case.
So, the /proc file system allocates resources to a process without the process' request. I have not studied the /proc file system - guess it's time I boned up on it. Not sure if it will remain part of the kernel for much longer though :) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
