6 This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
7 of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
8 your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
9 you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
10 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.

17 to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
18 information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.
20 Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
21 meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
22 That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
23 /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.
25 The /proc file system is explained in the file
26 <file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.rst> and on the proc(5) manpage

70 The sysctl interface provides a means of dynamically changing
71 certain kernel parameters and variables on the fly without requiring
72 a recompile of the kernel or reboot of the system. The primary
74 modifiable sysctl entries will be generated beneath the
75 /proc/sys directory. They are explained in the files
76 in <file:Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/>. Note that enabling this
77 option will enlarge the kernel by at least 8 KB.
