"pseudo" file system versus "virtual" file system?

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

 



  reading a linux doc, which refers to /sys as an example of a
"virtual" file system.  is that usage common?  i normally refer to
things like /sys and /proc as "pseudo" file systems.  and virtual file
system is dangerously close to suggesting the VFS, which is totally
different.

  thoughts on common usage?
