.Sh NAME
.Nm linsysfs
.Nd Linux system file system
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Bd -literal
linsys /compat/linux/sys linsysfs rw 0 0
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Tn Linux
system file system, or
.Nm ,
emulates a subset of the
.Tn Linux
sys file system and is required for
the complete operation of some
.Tn Linux
binaries.
.Pp
The
.Nm
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
.Pa scsi_host
class with a device symlink
to the PCI directories of the devices.
.Pp
Each device node is a directory containing some files and directories:
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa status"
.It Pa host
A place holder for storage host information.
.It Pa pci_id
A directory for the
.Pa pci_id
that contains either the device information or another directory structure
for a PCI bridge.
.El
.Pp
Each host node of scsi_host is a directory containing some files and directories:
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa proc_name"
.It Pa proc_name
The
.Tn Linux
registered driver name for these devices.
.It Pa device
A symlink to the PCI device directory.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
The most common usage follows:
.Pp
.Dl "mount -t linsysfs linsys /compat/linux/sys"
.Pp
where
.Pa /compat/linux/sys
is a mount point.
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /compat/linux/sys/devices/pci0000:00" -compact
.It Pa /compat/linux/sys
The normal mount point for
.Nm .
.It Pa /compat/linux/sys/class/scsi_host
The storage host node.
.It Pa /compat/linux/sys/devices/pci0000:00
The PCI device hierarchy node.
