The /proc directory
The entries in the /proc directory provide information on the status of the
Linux fieldbus coupler. You can find entries for every started process as well
as from the drivers or the kernel. The entries can be read and copied like a text
file. However, the entries are not in the flash memory but in the RAM. For
example, the entry
cat meminfo
provides information on the used system memory.
