[PATCH 23/23] configfs: remove old API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Remove the old show_attribute and store_attribute methods and update
the documentation.  Also replace the two C samples with a single new
one in the proper samples directory where people expect to find it.

 [An Example]
 
 The best example of these basic concepts is the simple_children

-used in sysfs.  configfs_example_explicit.c creates these attributes
-by explicitly defining the structures involved.  Conversely
-configfs_example_macros.c uses some convenience macros from configfs.h
-to define the attributes.  These macros are similar to their sysfs
-counterparts.
