Devices will + be added and removed dynamically as the machine runs, + and between different kernel versions, the layout of the + devices within this tree will change. + + Please do not rely on the format of this tree because of + this. If a program wishes to find different things in + the tree, please use the /sys/class structure and rely + on the symlinks there to point to the proper location + within the /sys/devices tree of the individual devices. + Or rely on the uevent messages to notify programs of + devices being added and removed from this tree to find + the location of those devices. + + Note that sometimes not all devices along the directory + chain will have emitted uevent messages, so userspace + programs must be able to handle such occurrences. + +Users: + udev -- cgit v1.2.3
