fraggle<p>Introduced in early Linux as a way to expose internal kernel data, /proc turned introspection into a superpower. Need to see CPU info? Memory usage? Active processes? It’s all just files. Unlike traditional tools that queried the system with custom code, /proc let you cat your way into real-time diagnostics. It's a filesystem, but it doesn't store data—it tells the story of your system in live detail. Even now, it's essential for system monitoring and scripting.</p><p><a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/procfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProcFS</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/unixphilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnixPhilosophy</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/sysadminmagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdminMagic</span></a></p>
