+What: /sys/class/fc/fc_udev_device/appid_store
+Date: Aug 2021
+Contact: Muneendra Kumar <muneendra.kumar@broadconm.com>
+Description:
+ This interface allows an admin to set an FC application
+ identifier in the blkcg associated with a cgroup id. The
+ identifier is typically a UUID that is associated with
+ an application or logical entity such as a virtual
+ machine or container group. The application or logical
+ entity utilizes a block device via the cgroup id.
+ FC adapter drivers may query the identifier and tag FC
+ traffic based on the identifier. FC host and FC fabric
+ entities can utilize the application id and FC traffic
+ tag to identify traffic sources.
+
+ The interface expects a string "<cgroupid>:<appid>" where:
+ <cgroupid> is inode of the cgroup in hexadecimal
+ <appid> is user provided string upto 128 characters
+ in length.
+
+ If an appid_store is done for a cgroup id that already
+ has an appid set, the new value will override the
+ previous value.
+
+ If an admin wants to remove an FC application identifier
+ from a cgroup, an appid_store should be done with the
+ following string: "<cgroupid>:"
