2 * procfile is a library for reading kernel files from /proc
6 * - every file is opened once with procfile_open().
8 * - to read updated contents, we rewind it (lseek() to 0) and read again
9 * with procfile_readall().
11 * - for every file, we use a buffer that is adjusted to fit its entire
12 * contents in memory, allowing us to read it with a single read() call.
13 * (this provides atomicity / consistency on the data read from the kernel)
15 * - once the data are read, we update two arrays of pointers:
16 * - a words array, pointing to each word in the data read
17 * - a lines array, pointing to the first word for each line
19 * This is highly optimized. Both arrays are automatically adjusted to
20 * fit all contents and are updated in a single pass on the data:
21 * - a raspberry Pi can process 5.000+ files / sec.
22 * - a J1900 celeron processor can process 23.000+ files / sec.
