The proc file system, commonly referred to as /proc, is a virtual filesystem in Linux that provides an interface to kernel data structures. It is not stored on a physical disk but is generated dynamically in memory by the kernel when the system is running. The contents of /proc reflect the current state of the kernel and processes, allowing users and applications to access system information and configuration.
