Presentation 3Proc Filesystem for Linux

• Problem
• How do we allow controlled access to kernel data
  and parameters and provide a familiar interface
  that programmers can easily adopt
• Solution
• a pseudo-filesystem that represents status
  information and configuration parameters as files

4
Proc Filesystem

• Implementation
• Acts as an interface to kernel data, allowing
• user/process system information gathering
• changing kernel parameters at runtime
• Uses standard filesystem calls

• Presentation Topics
• Introduction History
• Problems Addressed
• Layout Features
• Programming for proc
• Future Enhancements
