Operating Systems Linux How to call a proc file from *.c program? Post 98912 by pat_and_cami on Monday 13th of February 2006 01:35:39 AM

How to call a proc file from *.c program?

Hi,

I am new to Linux programming. As part of learning, I need to create a *.c program where we call certain /proc files (i.e. such as meminfo, version, uptime, etc...) from our program. Can anyone point me to a simple program on how one would do this (i.e. can you directly call uptime() or ... straight from my program - I would be very surprised if one could)?


Thanks,

Pat//
