/proc

Hi All,

I am newbie here, I have quick question for which I could not get an answer anywhere.

I know that /Proc is a virtual file system and it stores system information and it is created on fly each time system boots up.

someone asked a question why is /proc created on fly ? why is it that way ?

I could not get a convincing answer anywhere. If anyone can explain, please do.

Regards,
Alex
