From: Vegard Nossum Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2023 12:48:16 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Documentation: move driver-api/dcdbas to userspace-api/ X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb67bf1c4a56cc8bdba93b4f0353d05e777ff44b;p=linux.git Documentation: move driver-api/dcdbas to userspace-api/ This file documents a sysfs interface that is intended for systems management software. It does NOT document any kind of kernel driver API. It is also not meant to be used directly by system administrators or users.
