+/*
+ * procfile is a library for reading kernel files from /proc
+ *
+ * The idea is this:
+ *
+ * - every file is opened once with procfile_open().
+ *
+ * - to read updated contents, we rewind it (lseek() to 0) and read again
+ * with procfile_readall().
+ *
+ * - for every file, we use a buffer that is adjusted to fit its entire
+ * contents in memory, allowing us to read it with a single read() call.
+ * (this provides atomicity / consistency on the data read from the kernel)
+ *
+ * - once the data are read, we update two arrays of pointers:
+ * - a words array, pointing to each word in the data read
+ * - a lines array, pointing to the first word for each line
+ *
+ * This is highly optimized. Both arrays are automatically adjusted to
+ * fit all contents and are updated in a single pass on the data:
+ * - a raspberry Pi can process 5.000+ files / sec.
+ * - a J1900 celeron processor can process 23.000+ files / sec.
