5e2051172SNicholas Bellinger	  configfs is a RAM-based filesystem that provides the converse
64591dabeSAlexey Dobriyan	  of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based
74591dabeSAlexey Dobriyan	  view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager
84591dabeSAlexey Dobriyan	  of kernel objects, or config_items.

104591dabeSAlexey Dobriyan	  Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the
114591dabeSAlexey Dobriyan	  same system. One is not a replacement for the other.
