| Prev | Chapter 4. The /proc Filesystem | Next |
As the file contents throughout the /proc directory
provide a look at the state of your system's kernel, which may
also be specially configured for a certain purpose, this chapter should
not be seen as comprehensive guide to this information. Rather, you
should definitely investigate additional sources of information about
/proc before tweaking your kernel.
Most of the best /proc documentation is probably
already available on your system.
/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
— Contains assorted, but limited, information about all
aspects of /proc.
/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/sysrq.txt
— An overview of System Request Key options.
/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/sysctl
— A directory containing a variety of
sysctl tips, including modifying values that
concern the kernel (kernel.txt), accessing
filesystems (fs.txt), and virtual memory use
(vm.txt).
/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
— A look at various IP networking options and their meanings
to the kernel.
Perhaps the most authoritative information on
/proc can be found by reading the kernel
source code. Make sure the kernel-source RPM
is installed on your system and look in the
/usr/src/linux-2.4 directory for the source.

Quotes: As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him to danger.No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself.
