Subject: Need help in understanding sysfs

Hi,

I need to undestand sysfs and make changes to it.

Please provide me with some good references.

Thanks

First thing to try would be your favorite search engine. If you do a search for “lwn <topic>” you’ll often be taken to a LWN article that is on topic though perhaps a bit dated. For instance, a search for “lwn sysfs” takes you to here:

http://lwn.net/Articles/54651/

Probably a good place to start. Linux is mostly good code, but the documentation that comes with the kernel sources mostly sucks, so the web is your friend in this regard.
