Answer:

The proc file system is basically used in the UNIX operating system and it acts as communication medium in the kernel space and the users.

It basically contain data or information about the processing system when it started and running.

The proc file system is the standardized and convenient method for providing the dynamic accessing data in the kernel. As, it is basically created dynamically during the boots up time and store information in the hierarchical type of file in the system.
