proc - harperreed/audreyhacking GitHub Wiki

/proc is a special filesystem in QNX which allows interaction between processes with a file metaphor. In other words, the files in /proc are not real files on disk - they represent processes running in the operating system. For shell users, there are a few interesting items here:

• /proc/ipstats — A file that can be catted or mored to see network information
• /proc/asound — Interaction with the sound driver (directory)
• /proc/boot — System boot files (directory)
• /proc/mount — Mounted filesystem information (directory)
• /proc/self — The kernel process (directory)
