If I understand it correctly, /proc is a set of virtual files allowing you to see data structures in RAM. Is "create_proc_entry" a library function? If so, I am guessing that--once the structure is declared--simply assigning a value to a member of the struct will cause it to appear in /proc.

Some experiments should show you how it works.
