1What: /sys/dev
2Date: April 2008
3KernelVersion: 2.6.26
4Contact: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
5Description: The /sys/dev tree provides a method to look up the sysfs
6 path for a device using the information returned from
7 stat(2). There are two directories, 'block' and 'char',
8 beneath /sys/dev containing symbolic links with names of
9 the form "<major>:<minor>". These links point to the
10 corresponding sysfs path for the given device.
11
12 Example:
13 $ readlink /sys/dev/block/8:32
14 ../../block/sdc
15
16 Entries in /sys/dev/char and /sys/dev/block will be
17 dynamically created and destroyed as devices enter and
18 leave the system.

4Description:
5 The /sys/devices/system/memory contains a snapshot of the
6 internal state of the kernel memory blocks. Files could be
7 added or removed dynamically to represent hot-add/remove
8 operations.

16Description:
17 The file /sys/devices/system/memory/memoryX/removable
18 indicates whether this memory block is removable or not.
19 This is useful for a user-level agent to determine
20 identify removable sections of the memory before attempting
21 potentially expensive hot-remove memory operation
