jayarsee Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I've integrated my application with some features that are unique to the /proc file system and I was wondering if, in doing so, I've lost all portability to non-Red Hat distributions. If not, what distributions also implement /proc? Neither Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs#Linux Nor Google were helpful in answering this question for me. Any examples are much appreciated. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 You will find /proc in all but some virtual and embedded Linux distributions as far as I'm aware. It is a fairly integral part of the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayarsee Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 I see. Almost all of the distribution-specific documentation that Google turned up for it was for Red Hat so that led me to believe it might have been less generic. I am more familiar with NetBSD and am a little unclear in general on what Linux features are vendor-specific. Hopefully I'm not the only one who would ask for an apparently obvious answer on this and your response helps someone other than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
