Subject: Sysfs - export sysfs_create_subdir?
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:43:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E29B6B1.2090107@cam.ac.uk> (raw)
Hi All,
I have a couple of cases in IIO where under some conditions
we end up using dummy attr_groups (no elements) to initialize
a sub directory before dynamically creating all of its attributes.
Now having dummy groups in the IIO core is fine, but it does seem
a little messy.
The obvious choice would be to put together a small wrapper function
for sysfs_create_subdir that also does sysfs_get on the result.
Anyone have any strong feelings on whether this is worthwhile or not?
It'll save me about 16 lines of code, so not exactly a big point,
but nice to get it right none the less!
If there is a way of doing this cleanly that I'm missing, then sorry
for the noise and please tell me what it is!
Jonathan
