[Solved ]Why tree /proc display contents of whole root directory?
Run command 'tree -fil /proc/ | less' and search for "self" by pressing '/' key and writing "self" and press Enter. Next press 'n' key to search next. Notice how directories are changing... Why there are /dev..., /etc..., /usr/lib/... directories displayed???

Observe the output after the first process' cwd entry.
