It's a - virtual file system: it is not associated with a block device - but exists only in memory. The files in the procfs are there to - allow userland programs access to certain information from the - kernel (like process information in <filename - class="directory">/proc/[0-9]+/</filename>), but also for debug - purposes (like <filename>/proc/ksyms</filename>). - </para> - - <para> - This guide describes the use of the procfs file system from - within the Linux kernel. It starts by introducing all relevant - functions to manage the files within the file system. After that - it shows how to communicate with userland, and some tips and - tricks will be pointed out. Finally a complete example will be - shown. - </para> - - <para> - Note that the files in <filename - class="directory">/proc/sys</filename> are sysctl files: they - don't belong to procfs and are governed by a completely - different API described in the Kernel API book. - </para> - </chapter> - - - - - <chapter id="managing"> - <title>Managing procfs entries</title> - - <para> - This chapter describes the functions that various kernel - components use to populate the procfs with files, symlinks, - device nodes, and directories. - </para> - - <para> - A minor note before we start: if you want to use any of the - procfs functions, be sure to include the correct header file! - This should be one of the first lines in your code: - </para> - - <programlisting> -#include <linux/proc_fs.h> - </programlisting> - - - - - <sect1 id="regularfile"> - <title>Creating a regular file</title> - - <funcsynopsis> - <funcprototype> - <funcdef>struct proc_dir_entry* <function>create_proc_entry</function></funcdef> - <paramdef>const char* <parameter>name</parameter></paramdef> - <paramdef>mode_t <parameter>mode</parameter></paramdef> - <paramdef>struct proc_dir_entry* <parameter>parent</parameter></paramdef> - </funcprototype> - </funcsynopsis> - - <para> - This function creates a regular file with the name - <parameter>name</parameter>, file mode - <parameter>mode</parameter> in the directory - <parameter>parent</parameter>.
