According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procfs,

The following operating environments support procfs:

    * Solaris
    * BSD
    * Linux (which extends it to non-process-related data)
* IBM AIX (which bases its implementation on Linux to improve compatibility) 
    * QNX
    * Plan 9 from Bell Labs (where it originated)

Sorry I'm not familiar with the Haiku os.  I found there is not a /proc
filesystem like other unix-like system. Maybe there is some mechanism
similar to /proc filesystem in Haiku.



Ok. First of all, Haiku is not a unix-like system. :-) Plus, I'm not sure but,
I thought only linux has it, and if I don't mistake, it is moving to sysfs.


I've discussed with Stephan Aßmus privately. Maybe this is a immature
suggestion.



Personally I don't see any particular benefits for such as feature,
but some other
devs might.
