What about a process? File gone wild?

[–] whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’d call that a file loaded to memory

Most files are loaded to memory in order to make any kind of use out of them. I.e. read/write operations.

[–] whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That’s true! I supposed it would be more precise to say that all processes are files loaded to memory, but not all files loaded to memory are processes. Sort of like the whole arachnids / spiders situation.

Why not? Represented in /proc? exec() and fam? Read and write to it?
