+Date: Mar 2022
+Contact: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>
+Description: Writing 'on' or 'off' to this file makes the kdamond starts or
+ stops, respectively. Reading the file returns the keywords
+ based on the current status. Writing 'commit' to this file
+ makes the kdamond reads the user inputs in the sysfs files
+ except 'state' again. Writing 'update_schemes_stats' to the
+ file updates contents of schemes stats files of the kdamond.
+ Writing 'update_schemes_tried_regions' to the file updates
+ contents of 'tried_regions' directory of every scheme directory
+ of this kdamond. Writing 'update_schemes_tried_bytes' to the
+ file updates only '.../tried_regions/total_bytes' files of this
+ kdamond. Writing 'clear_schemes_tried_regions' to the file
+ removes contents of the 'tried_regions' directory.
