Glad to be so :-)

You can get more information in the proc(5) man page -
man proc
or
man 5 proc
I also recommend using `grep' in the /usr/share/kernel/Documentation
directory. This is how I used to search for the tunables
documentation. It was only when I did a little online searching that I
came to know abour the proc(5) man page - thanks to your query :-)
Cheerio,
