[PLUG-TALK] /proc details

[John Sechrest]

	Hello,

	I am starting to brainstorm out a project that I would
	like to see worked on. It is to create a file system
	metaphore for sql just like /proc is a metaphore
	for processes.

	So I am trying to see how linux creates the /proc 
	instantiation. IE, where the filesystem hands off
	the calls for /proc into the /proc driver.

	and what I would have to do in order to do that same
	kind of thing for a network service.


	I am interested to know of an article that talks about
	/proc was implemented and how these types of things
	work.

	Does anyone have any information about /proc or 
	nfs impemetnation details?
