Introduction ---------------- - -This package's purpose is to provide a set of utilities for interfacing -with sysfs, a virtual filesystem in Linux kernel versions 2.5+ that -provides a tree of system devices. While a filesystem is a very useful -interface, we've decided to provide a stable programming interface -that will hopefully make it easier for applications to query system devices -and their attributes. - -This package currently includes: - -- libsysfs: a library for accessing system devices. -- systool: an application to view system device information by bus, class, - and topology. -- A number of example usage routines in the "test" directory. -- A comprehensive testsuite, also shipped as part of the "test" directory. This - testsuite can be used to test _all_ the APIs exported by Libsysfs. - Please refer the libsysfs.txt file in the "docs" directory for - details as to how to use the testsuite. - - -2. How to Install ------------------ - -Run the "configure" script to generate Makefiles. Use "make" to build the -library and utilities. - -For a successful install, run "make install" as super-user. "make uninstall" -will clean up all installed files. - - -3. Licenses ------------ - -The commands and tests are licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL) -Version2, June 1991.
