There are different variants of how /proc works but on Linux for example, /proc/12345 contains information about process 12345; if that is not what you want, then perhaps you can explicate on what in particular you are looking for.

Also look at the proc(5) manual page, which documents the facility. (On Linux, at least, the documentation there was somewhat stale, last time I looked; but in general, it's probably correct.)
