Explanation
This question asks for the virtual filesystem that provides runtime system information and hardware details on a Linux system.
Common mistakes.
- A. /sys is another virtual filesystem that exposes information about devices and kernel components, primarily for device management, but /proc is more commonly associated with overall system resource specifications.
- C. /var is used for variable data files, such as logs, mail queues, and temporary files, not for system hardware specifications.
- D. /usr contains user binaries, libraries, documentation, and source code, not dynamic system resource information.
