+ help
+ configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse
+ of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based
+ view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager
+ of kernel objects, or config_items.
+
+ Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the
+ same system. One is not a replacement for the other.
