 |
|
Hi,
is there a way to see the internals, like queues, descriptor tables, etc of the kernel?
Also is there a way/program, which i can i use in order to watch the memory and how processes (kernel and user) are ditributed in there?
Thanks |

What do you mean "see the internals"? The source? Of course  Just look in your source tree.
I believe "top" should just about do what you want on the second question. |

Thanks kmj0377,
With internals i mean the queues (like the dispather queue) and the descriptor tables (process, file), while the system is running; what happens to these tables when a file/program is opened, etc; not the source code. |

Does /proc/${PID}/* suffice?

Thanks, but i don't think, that it is what i want- or it seems i don't know how to use it. Anyway, i will do some search around "/proc".  |
