once you see that living, breathing example, what more would you need to know about how to have your module/driver create a simple read-only proc file?
You need to know that if your module/driver ever creates a simple read-only proc file, they will be flamed to a crisp on lkml when they submit it :)
Seriously, don't ever create a new proc file, it's not anything anyone should ever be doing anymore.
so have proc/seq file been massively deprecated in favour of sysfs attribute files, then?
Yes, that happened about 8 years ago :)
No driver should ever add a proc file, it's that simple.
oh, i was aware that the preference was for sysfs attr files. i just didn't realize it was that stringent. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
