Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org hello, Would XML be considered human readable enough for /proc files? If not, how about a /xproc filesystem ( maybe as a kernel build option ), same as /proc but uses an xml grammer for reporting. I can see tons of uses for this, no more 'fuzzy' parsing for gui configuration tools, resource monitors, etc. ? just thinking aloud really, -Kervin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
