โจ proc_sys_proc(5) โจ
okay bestie, welcome to the File Formats Manual, section 5 โ this is proc_sys_proc(5) and honestly? it's a short one. a lil baby page. but we're gonna give it the full main-character treatment anyway because every page deserves love ๐ซถ
๐ธ NAME ๐ธ
/proc/sys/proc/ - ???
and yes, the ??? is literally in the original. the man page itself is out here shrugging at us. iconic honestly ๐
๐ฆ DESCRIPTION ๐ฆ
/proc/sys/proc/โ this directory may be empty. that's it. that's the whole description. no cap.
so likeโฆ bestie, this is one of those /proc/sys subdirectories that just kinda vibes there. it might have stuff in it, it might not. it may be empty. the universe (and your kernel) will decide โจ
