ProcFS is a FUSE-based virtual file system, which aims to provide a snaphot of the running processes at mount-time, on the system on which it is mounted. Unlike /proc, the process tree structure is maintained and follows three basic rules:
- each directory represents a process and its name is the PID of said process
- every directory contains a 'stats' file, in which relevant data about the status of the corresponding process at mount-time is stored
- the children processes of any given process are represented as direct subdirectories (named as described above) of the parent directory associated with the given process
No further development will occur and the repository will not be maintained in any way.

libfuse-dev
- in order to compile the source file, the fuse header must be available on the target system
- this project adheres to the fuse operation specification
of libfuse3 and is compatible with
v3.10of said specification, provided via the macroFUSE_USE_VERSION - on debian-based distributions, this package can be
installed via the apt package manager, with the following command:
sudo apt install libfuse3-dev
-
fuse and libfuse
- necessary in order to be able to actually run fuse-based file systems
- on debian-based ditributions, these packages are part of the official package repository and come pre-installed
- if, for any reason, they aren't already installed on your
system, they can be installed via the apt package manager, with the
following command:
sudo apt install fuse3 libfuse3-3 -y
ProcFS can be compiled with gcc, using the following command, which
specifies the correct fuse header version to be used:
gcc -Wall proc-fs.c `pkg-config fuse3 --cflags --libs\` -o proc-fs
The file system can then be mounted by running the compiled executable
with the desired mount-point as an argument:
./proc-fs /<path>/<to>/<desired>/<mount-point>
In order to unmount the file system, the following command will be used:
fusermount -u /<path>/<to>/<desired>/<mount-point>
