is it just me, or is "systool" kind of lame?

  possibly off-topic, but i wanted to use "systool" (part of the
sysfsutils package) to display various aspects of /sys, and it seems
that that command is annoyingly limited.

  for instance, if i run simply

  $ systool

i'll get a terse list of all of the supported busses, classes, devices
and modules.  but, from there, there's no way to select only one of
those categories for output -- a limitation i find surprising.

  in the man page, the synopsis for systool lists:

  systool [options [device]]

but there's virtually no option that's valid without some following
argument.  no point going into excruciating detail, it just seems that
systool doesn't support what one would imagine are fairly obvious
requests.  or am i missing something?  and is there any other tool
that displays aspects of /sys similarly?  thanks.
