Hi Paul,

You had mentioned in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/8/29 about cgroup
binary API for statistics. What is the status wrt to that?

We are looking to export statistics using libcg. One of the questions
that comes up is when is a file in the cgroup, a control file (one used
to control the parameters of the subsystem) and when is it a file which
is related to statistics. Maybe a binary API might help us there.

Thanks,
