Configfs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Configfs is a RAM-based virtual file system provided by the 2.6 Linux kernel[1]. Configfs appears similar to sysfs but they are in fact different and complementary. Configfs is for creating, managing and destroying kernel objects from user-space, and sysfs for viewing and manipulating objects from user-space which are created and destroyed by kernel space [2]. It is typically mounted at /config.
