You are correct. There very much is a protocol in use. Just as there is for setting ip_forward in /proc. And from your previous comment, it doesn't have to be ASCII. It could be binary or XML.
What is your specific requirements, I see you couch them in terms of what you have created, but none in terms of actual requirements with no specific implementation.
You are correct. I have been giving them in terms of my goal. The title still captures it: "a simple device to give daemons a /sys-like interface". I am not a kernel programmer. I am an Electrical Engineer trying to control a robot. So I don't know what you mean by "actual requirements" or a "specific implementation". If you point me at a working example I'll be happy to try to provide these.
And all of my other outstanding questions still remain, please address those as well.
Yes, understood. Greg, once again let me thank you for your patience while dealing with an EE (who probably needs more adult supervision). thanks Bob Smith -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
