Well, I'm was looking to port some Linux apps that make system calls
like:
FILE *fp_meminfo;
FILE *fp_stat;
FILE *fp_loadavg;
/*.....*/
fp = fopen("/proc/uptime", "r");
fp_meminfo = fopen("/proc/meminfo", "r");
fp_loadavg = fopen("/proc/loadavg", "r");
fp_stat = fopen("/proc/stat", "r");
And I needed some FreeBSD equivalent files to open in /proc. An example
would be
fp_stat = fopen("/proc/stat", "r"); /*Linux*/
fp_stat = fopen("/proc/curproc/status", "r"); /*FreeBSD*/
And the /proc/uptime probably has no equivalent /proc entry in FreeBSD,
so would likely have to use /kernel instead.
Another example is the line:
fp_meminfo = fopen("/proc/meminfo", "r"); /*Linux*/
fp_meminfo = fopen("/proc/curproc/mem", "r"); /*FreeBSD*/
etc. I just needed some FreeBSD equivalent files for porting from Linux
to FreeBSD, like for wine, some load ave. utilities in WindowMaker, etc.
