Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 595 Lines: 16 I'm doing some kernel work that will export tuneables to userspace. In 2.4 I would have used /proc/sys/kernel, but now there is /sys, which was supposed to be for system information. However, a bit of poking around in /sys didn't reveal any obvious place to put it. Is current practice to still put this sort of thing in /proc?
