sysfs

The filesystem for exporting kernel object. It provides information about the kernel like /proc, but is better structured (as it follows the formalism of kobject infrastructure).
sysfs is a ram-based filesystem initially based on ramfs. It provides a means to export kernel data structures, their attributes, and the linkages between them to userspace.
sysfs is tied inherently to the kobject infrastructure.
