I would say, use procfs if you have to dispense it all in a big mess at once, and sysfs if you can break it up hierarchically and provide information in a single-variable-at-a-time manner. Using a misc character device is more appropriate for the situation in which the results are a result of "request-response" with a client where it produces requests of your module with arguments not easily represented by separate procfs files. Of course, I'm new, so add salt to taste. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
