Changes are basically to make it look like kernel structure. --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices (limited to 'Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices') diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5fcc9435 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +What: /sys/devices +Date: February 2006 +Contact: Greg Kroah-Hartman +Description: + The /sys/devices tree contains a snapshot of the + internal state of the kernel device tree. Devices will + be added and removed dynamically as the machine runs, + and between different kernel versions, the layout of the + devices within this tree will change. + + Please do not rely on the format of this tree because of + this. If a program wishes to find different things in + the tree, please use the /sys/class structure and rely + on the symlinks there to point to the proper location + within the /sys/devices tree of the individual devices. + Or rely on the uevent messages to notify programs of + devices being added and removed from this tree to find + the location of those devices. + + Note that sometimes not all devices along the directory + chain will have emitted uevent messages, so userspace + programs must be able to handle such occurrences. + +Users: + udev -- cgit
