No, procfs is also not Linux specific ;-) /proc is a filesystem, so most of us refer to it as 'procfs' for short. In fact, the header file you include a C program in Solaris to use it is '<procfs.h>'.

As I said before, the only thing that's really Linux-specific is Linux chose to represent it as text instead of something machine-parsable.




Which other OS uses procfs?


Hier is the history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs I think the one from linux was inspire by plan9's implementation.


Thank you!
