I'm not into kernel development. So, the what is and wherefores are outside of
my
pay grade. I just accept that "this is the way things work" in this case.
So, the /proc file system allocates resources to a process
without the process' request. I have not studied the /proc file
system - guess it's time I boned up on it.
Not sure if it will remain part of the kernel for much longer though :)
