- This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
|
|
|
|
- of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
|
|
|
|
- your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
|
|
|
|
- you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
|
|
|
|
- version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
|
|
|
|
- information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
|
|
|
|
- (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
|
|
|
|
- that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
|
|
|
|
- often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured
|
|
|
|
- to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
|
|
|
|
- information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
|
|
|
|
- meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
- That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
|
|
|
|
- /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- The /proc file system is explained in the file
|
|
|
|
- <file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage
|
|
|
|
- ("man 5 proc").
|

- This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB. Several
|
|
|
|
- programs depend on this, so everyone should say Y here.

|
|
|
|
- The sysctl interface provides a means of dynamically changing
|
|
|
|
- certain kernel parameters and variables on the fly without requiring
|
|
|
|
- a recompile of the kernel or reboot of the system. The primary
|
|
|
|
- interface is through /proc/sys. If you say Y here a tree of
|
|
|
|
- modifiable sysctl entries will be generated beneath the
|
|
|
|
- /proc/sys directory. They are explained in the files
|
|
|
|
- in <file:Documentation/sysctl/>. Note that enabling this
|
|
|
|
- option will enlarge the kernel by at least 8 KB.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- As it is generally a good thing, you should say Y here unless
|
|
|
|
- building a kernel for install/rescue disks or your system is very
|
|
|
|
- limited in memory.
