The Geek Stuff takes a look at the Linux /proc File System
Inside the /proc directory, you’ll see two types of content — numbered directories, and system information files.
/proc is not a real file system, it is a virtual file system. For example, if you do ls -l /proc/stat, you’ll notice that it has a size of 0 bytes, but if you do “cat /proc/stat”, you’ll see some content inside the file.
Several Linux commands access the information from /proc, and displays in a certain format.
