5 | Description: 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. | ||

5 | The /sys/devices/system/memory contains a snapshot of the | ||
6 | internal state of the kernel memory blocks. Files could be | ||

16 | Description: | ||
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 | ||
