Pesudo FIle Systems Flashcards
Within Linux our hard drive, your network cards, your keyboard, your display monitor, everything is seen as a file within Linux.
every file and folder is actually nothing more
than just a file itself.
does not exist on a physical hard disk. It actually is created by the Linux kernel after the computer boots up, and it only exists in RAM while the system is up and running.

pseudo file systems
Once you shut your computer off,
that file system no longer exists,
as it gets wiped out when the RAM is cleaned.
the kernel will create
another pseudo file system using the same directories that will hold all of the information that the kernel in a system uses at that point in time.
When your system boots up,
all processes that are currently running on your system can be viewed within their specific directory named after their process ID.
/proc directory
command for process 1
systemd
information
about the hardware that is currently connected
to the computer and the Linux kernel itself.
/sys directory,
exposes information
that it is working on in these files and folders
for other applications to use that have to interface with the kernel itself.
kernel
information about our computer’s
file system, which is the way the information is stored on a computer hard drive.
And these directories within this file system folder pertain to the particular file systems that are currently being used on this computer.
