A typical use case +would be debugging of a device or a driver on an embedded board, +patching up trivial electronic hardware design deficiencies in +software or just plain desire to indicate activity on a certain +device. + +Internally, a instance of a trigger is created and registered with LED +triggers for every device added via ledtrig_dev_add() call. The +triggers are named in the following manner: + + `dev-<major>:<minor>` + +And can be selected from under /sys/class/leds/*/trigger. A device +activity is explicitly indicated by calling ledtrig_dev_activity() for +a registered device. + +The driver also creates a set of debugfs entries under +/sys/kernel/debug/ledtrig-dev, these are: + + devices - cat'ing will produce a list of currently registered + devices + + register - echo'ing <major>:<minor> will create a trigger for this + device (note, you still need to add at least + ledtrig_dev_activity() hook) + + trigger - echo'ing <major>:<minor> will fire the trigger for this + device -- 2.5.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-leds" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
