| Subject | Description of "files" under /proc |
| Message-ID | <xeHaa-7ar-19@gated-at.bofh.it> |
In another forum there was a discussion comparing execution times of some different programs accomplishing the same task. The programs were being run on different machines. As part of the discussion the use of "grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo" was suggested. That prompted me to investigate the /proc directory. Is there somewhere that catalogs the function of the various "files" under that directory? What are the functions of the sub-directories with a numeric name? TIA

Should keep me busy while under a "winter storm watch/warning" this weekend ;} May even result in better questions. Thank you.
