Hi all, First of all, Happy New Year. I have a question about porting an application from Linux to FreeBSD. The application I want to port, makes an extensive use of the procfs in Linux. It gathers a lot of information from those files (cpuinfo, meminfo, devices, filesystems, modules, etc...) As I know, FreeBSD has some kind of procfs but more limited in terms of information. My questions is how should I proceed now? I see two options. 1 - Try to rely the porting on the compatibility procfs from FreeBSD 2 - Do the things in a completely different way (which one is this? Invoking sysctl system call?) I would like to know from you which one is the best approach. Thanks in advance
