Ok, I wrote a small module that creates a file in /proc. I still have some questions though. I want each line of the file to contain a source and destination directory. Lets call the conf file foo. So, do I make the module read /etc/foo and create the /proc/foo file or should a userland process write the contents /etc/foo to /proc/foo?
