/sys/.../enclosure_device: ?

Hi!

I'm looking for the most precise information available about the meaning of <something>
and from what it is derived. I'm also interested in what the values in the files in that directory
may mean. Could somebody point me there?

Also, how can there be more than one enclosure_device subdirectory for the same device,
or, alternatively, why isn't <something> stored in a file in the more regularly named directory
/sys/.../enclosure_device?

(It would be nice to be able to obtain the value of <something> using libudev's attribute
lookup facilities, but making that value a part of the specially named directory enclosure_device:<something>
makes such a process especially difficult.)

Thanks,
