|
|

|
.Xr procfs 5
|

system, enforcing access control, keeping track of file numbers, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
cloning files and directories that are process-specific.

The consumer module, i.e. the module that implements the actual guts
|
2002-12-12 17:26:04 +00:00
|
|
|
|
of the file system, needs only provide the directory structure
|

|
|
|
|
(represented by a collection of structures declared and initialized by
|
|
|

|
|
macros provided by

.Nm )
|
|

and callbacks that report file attributes or write the actual file

contents into sbufs.
