20Info directory
21--------------
22
23The 'info' directory contains information about the enabled
24resources. Each resource has its own subdirectory. The subdirectory
25names reflect the resource names. Each subdirectory contains the
26following files:
27
28"num_closids": The number of CLOSIDs which are valid for this
29 resource. The kernel uses the smallest number of
30 CLOSIDs of all enabled resources as limit.
31
32"cbm_mask": The bitmask which is valid for this resource. This
33 mask is equivalent to 100%.
34
35"min_cbm_bits": The minimum number of consecutive bits which must be
36 set when writing a mask.
