Hi, I've seen that some time ago (Dec. `99) someone asked about eventually implementing a procfs translator that would do something close to what Linux does. It seems also that Neal Walfield started to implement a procfs tanslator. What is now the status? What does it perform?
I'm also wondering how useful is such a filesystem. /proc under Linux contains quite a lot of information, but all those pieces of information are completely unrelated: it has info on processes, hardware (IRQs, I/O ports, DMA, etc.), filesystems mounted, modules loaded, and so on. Shouldn't it be separated in several small filesystems each one of them having a very specific goal? Also I believe that using /proc things in a program leads to non-portable programs, so it should just aim at giving useful pieces of information to the user (not the programs) I think. The list archive also shows post regarding a Linux binary emulation layer? Has there been any work on it? Any pointers? Cheers, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
