Information about /proc and /sys directories


hi,
as I understand under /proc and /sys there are a lot of information about the system.
e.g. /proc/meminfo holds information about the memory.

Is there any (free) e-book or documentation in general that explains the /proc and /sys directories ?


I use kernel 2.6.x and I am willing to learn for kernel 2.6.x


There is no man page for e.g. meminfo because I suppose /proc and /sys is where kernel writes so there is correct no man page for each file inside those two directories.
