procfs deprecated? What are you talking about? It's the first I've heard of it
A google shows that it is indeed deprecated - on FreeBSD. Not in linux, and I
can't find any sign that it will be either
Some parts of it are deprecated, notably the device parts, which are migrated
to sysfs, but i don't see any signs at all that the rest is going away
Of course I could have missed something - feel free to point me to a resource
that says differently
No, I think you may be right Anders, it seems to be portions of procfs
that is deprecated --not the entire procfs. I read the opposite in a
thesis published on the net [1] and took it for granted, I should have
verified first though, or perhaps read it again in case I read something
out of context. It probably added to my belief that I knew it was
already deprecated on FreeBSD.
Funny thing is I think I've seen references to this somewhere else
too....maybe others got this wrong too....I better check more
carefully... ;-)
