Partly because when I did consider switching to /sys, I found it to be=20 incomprehensible (even with the LWN articles and Documentation/ files).=20 Jonathan's articles and LCA presentation did help me start to get a better= =20 grip, but then it just didn't seem to be worth the effort. I have two simpl= e=20 relatively simple routines that handle all my proc entries at the moment, s= o=20 that adding a new entry is just a matter of adding an element in an array o= f=20 structs (saying what variable is being read/written, what type, min/max=20 values and side effect routines, eg). It looked to me like changing to sysf= s=20 was going to require me to have a separate routine for every sysfs entry,=20 even though they'd all have those some basic features. Maybe I'm just=20 ignorant. Please tell me I am and point me in the right direction.
