Can anybody point me to a docu explaining the /proc file system?

Even if the file/dir names sometimes are self-explaining, it's not
always the case.
The FHS does not go into detail.

Goal:
Handling /proc from the tasks point of view.

Example:
- want: IP-Forwarding
- have to: `echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'

TIA
