| 4 | help |
| 5 | configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse |
| 6 | of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based |
| 7 | view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager |
| 8 | of kernel objects, or config_items. |

| 10 | Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the |
| 11 | same system. One is not a replacement for the other. |
