No, /proc is actually direct access to the kernel modules, it is not
buffered in memory.  There are read and write routines which get called
when needed in each bit of the kernel that provides /proc data.

Mark Post said:

Since /proc is a pseudo-file system in the Linux system itself, I don't see
how it would be possible to collect information from it without "running in
Linux at all."

My thinking was that since /proc is a pseudo-file system, it is not on
disk.  It is probably in Linux's virtual storage.  A virtual machine with
the proper authority could use CP commands (or the DIAG instruction) to
view Linux's virtual storage and get the information.

Thanks,
