| + | || Explanation: The <code>/dev</code> directory contains special files that represent devices, e.g. hard drive. None of them, however, gives the CPU information. The <code>/sys</code> directory is a virtual file system that stores the device information on a Linux system. However, the <code>/sys/cpuinfo</code> does not exist at all. The <code>/proc</code> directory is also a virtual file system that contains information about running process on a Linux system. From the file <code>/proc/cpuinfo</code> you can obtain the CPU information. | ||
