What would be the best way to differentiate between the 3 pseudo file system's in FHS ?

I have come across three pseudo file systems and further when trying to get a hang of the difference between these three File systems, I was quite confused between the kernel parameters that were stored in both proc and sys, afterwards I figured out that we can modify the system configuration with sys but proc is used only to analyze and identify kernel properties and thereby system performance but it isn't modifiable but is there any better way to identify the differences.

Hi @willofheaven2003,

You can find that information in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard:

I hope that helps
