Linux Essentials (010-160) — Question 30

What can be found in the /proc/ directory?

Answer options

• A. One directory per installed program.
• B. One device file per hardware device.
• C. One file per existing user account.
• D. One directory per running process.
• E. One log file per running service.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the /proc/ directory contains a set of directories for each running process, identified by their process IDs. The other options are incorrect as /proc/ does not hold directories for installed programs, device files for hardware, files for user accounts, or log files for services.
