the ps command. In fact, ps uses the proc file system to obtain its
information. The statm file contains more detailed information about the

1.2 Kernel data
---------------
Similar to the process entries, the kernel data files give information about
the running kernel. The files used to obtain this information are contained in
/proc and are listed in Table 1-3. Not all of these will be present in your
/proc and are listed in Table 1-4. Not all of these will be present in your
system. It depends on the kernel configuration and the loaded modules, which
files are there, and which are missing.
