procfs deprecated? What are you talking about? It's the first I've heard of it
A google shows that it is indeed deprecated - on FreeBSD. Not in linux, and I can't find any sign that it will be either
Some parts of it are deprecated, notably the device parts, which are migrated to sysfs, but i don't see any signs at all that the rest is going away
Of course I could have missed something - feel free to point me to a resource that says differently
No, I think you may be right Anders, it seems to be portions of procfs that is deprecated --not the entire procfs. I read the opposite in a thesis published on the net [1] and took it for granted, I should have verified first though, or perhaps read it again in case I read something out of context. It probably added to my belief that I knew it was already deprecated on FreeBSD. Funny thing is I think I've seen references to this somewhere else too....maybe others got this wrong too....I better check more carefully... ;-) [1] A Movement Notification Library for Mobile IPv6 Mark Borst Master of Science Thesis -- Geir A.
