··· 61 61 0.1 Introduction/Credits 62 62 ------------------------ 63 63 64 - This documentation is part of a soon (or so we hope) to be released book on 65 - the SuSE Linux distribution. As there is no complete documentation for the 66 - /proc file system and we've used many freely available sources to write these 67 - chapters, it seems only fair to give the work back to the Linux community. 68 - This work is based on the 2.2.* kernel version and the upcoming 2.4.*. I'm 69 - afraid it's still far from complete, but we hope it will be useful. As far as 70 - we know, it is the first 'all-in-one' document about the /proc file system. It 71 - is focused on the Intel x86 hardware, so if you are looking for PPC, ARM, 72 - SPARC, AXP, etc., features, you probably won't find what you are looking for. 73 - It also only covers IPv4 networking, not IPv6 nor other protocols - sorry. But 74 - additions and patches are welcome and will be added to this document if you 75 - mail them to Bodo. 76 - 77 64 We'd like to thank Alan Cox, Rik van Riel, and Alexey Kuznetsov and a lot of 78 65 other people for help compiling this documentation. We'd also like to extend a 79 66 special thank you to Andi Kleen for documentation, which we relied on heavily ··· 68 81 Thanks to everybody else who contributed source or docs to the Linux kernel 69 82 and helped create a great piece of software... :) 70 83 71 - If you have any comments, corrections or additions, please don't hesitate to 72 - contact Bodo Bauer at bb@ricochet.net. We'll be happy to add them to this 73 - document. 74 - 75 84 The latest version of this document is available online at 76 85 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/proc.html 77 - 78 - If the above direction does not works for you, you could try the kernel 79 - mailing list at linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org and/or try to reach me at 80 - comandante@zaralinux.com. 81 86 82 87 0.2 Legal Stuff 83 88 ---------------
