- Do not use libsysfs It makes assumptions about sysfs which are not true. Its API does not offer any abstraction, it exposes all the kernel driver-core implementation details in its own API. Therefore it is not better than reading directories and opening the files yourself. Also, it is not actively maintained, in the sense of reflecting the current kernel-development. The goal of providing a stable interface to sysfs has failed, it causes more problems, than it solves. It violates many of the rules in this document.
The problem is that even on ftp.kernel.org there are packages like pcmciautils that still link to libsysfs and contain things like #define PATH_TO_SOCKET "/sys/class/pcmcia_socket/". Are they expected to be fixed?
