But before proceeding any further I want to hear from Karel and old > sysfsutils maintainer if the project merge what is wanted. The question is if maintain it again is the right reaction to the current agony. Maybe death is better solution. I don't think it's widely used and IMHO it's probably used for trivial things like write/read from sysfs. For example we have for work with /sys/block a file lib/sysfs.c in utils-linux. Not sure if for something like this is necessary to have shared library.
