+Description:
+		The /sys/class/pps-gen/ directory will contain files and
+		directories that will provide a unified interface to
+		the PPS generators.

+Description:
+		This write-only file enables or disables generation of the
+		PPS signal.

+Description:
+		This read-only file returns "1" if the generator takes the
+		timing from the system clock, while it returns "0" if not
+		(i.e. from a peripheral device clock).
