I’d like to create a file and hook it up somehow to a shell command that gets executed whenever I cat that file. So that the content of the file is the stdout of the shell command.
Something like /proc/meminfo.
Thanks
/proc/meminfolives in a special filesystem,procfs, that is implemented by the kernel. You could use FUSE to do something similar in userspace.
