LINSYSFS(5)		      File Formats Manual		   LINSYSFS(5)

NAME
       linsysfs	-- Linux kernel	objects	file system

SYNOPSIS
       linsys	       /compat/linux/sys       linsysfs	       rw 0 0

DESCRIPTION
       The  Linux  system  file	 system, or linsysfs, emulates a subset	of the
       Linux sys file system and is required for  the  complete	 operation  of
       some Linux binaries.

       The  linsysfs  provides	a  two-level  view of devices.	At the highest
       level, PCI devices themselves are named,	according to their  bus,  slot
       and  function  in the system hierarchy.	PCI storage devices are	listed
       in the scsi_host	class with a device symlink to the PCI directories  of
       the devices.

       Each device node	is a directory containing some files and directories:

       host    A place holder for storage host information.

       pci_id  A  directory for	the pci_id that	contains either	the device in-
	       formation or another directory structure	for a PCI bridge.

       Each host node of scsi_host is a	directory containing  some  files  and
       directories:

       proc_name  The Linux registered driver name for these devices.

       device	  A symlink to the PCI device directory.

FILES
       /compat/linux/sys		     The   normal   mount   point  for
					     linsysfs.
       /compat/linux/sys/class/scsi_host     The storage host node.
       /compat/linux/sys/devices/pci0000:00  The PCI device hierarchy node.

EXAMPLES
       The most	common usage follows:

	     mount -t linsysfs linsys /compat/linux/sys

       where /compat/linux/sys is a mount point.
