Sort of. Think of it more like device nodes and their read and write methods. Procfs associates a read and (optionally) a write function with each node. Reading and writing to the nodes invoke that function. Plenty of examples are in fs/proc, such as array.c and misc.c. Robert Love -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
