DAMON exports nine files, ``DEPRECATED``, ``attrs``, ``target_ids``,
-``init_regions``, ``schemes``, ``monitor_on``, ``kdamond_pid``, ``mk_contexts``
-and ``rm_contexts`` under its debugfs directory, ``<debugfs>/damon/``.
+``init_regions``, ``schemes``, ``monitor_on_DEPRECATED``, ``kdamond_pid``,
+``mk_contexts`` and ``rm_contexts`` under its debugfs directory,
+``<debugfs>/damon/``.
``DEPRECATED`` is a read-only file for the DAMON debugfs interface deprecation
Setting the files as described above doesn't incur effect unless you explicitly
start the monitoring. You can start, stop, and check the current status of the
-monitoring by writing to and reading from the ``monitor_on`` file. Writing
-``on`` to the file starts the monitoring of the targets with the attributes.
-Writing ``off`` to the file stops those. DAMON also stops if every target
-process is terminated. Below example commands turn on, off, and check the
-status of DAMON::
+monitoring by writing to and reading from the ``monitor_on_DEPRECATED`` file.

Please note that you cannot write to the above-mentioned debugfs files while
monitoring is turned off, reading the file returns ``none``. ::
# cd <debugfs>/damon

off
# cat kdamond_pid
none
- # echo on > monitor_on
+ # echo on > monitor_on_DEPRECATED
