16 * This module shows how to create a kset in sysfs called
17 * /sys/kernel/kset-example
18 * Then tree kobjects are created and assigned to this kset, "foo", "baz",
19 * and "bar". In those kobjects, attributes of the same name are also
20 * created and if an integer is written to these files, it can be later
26 * This is our "object" that we will create a few of and register them with

46 * The default show function that must be passed to sysfs. This will be
47 * called by sysfs for whenever a show function is called by the user on a
48 * sysfs file associated with the kobjects we have registered. We need to
49 * transpose back from a "default" kobject to our custom struct foo_obj and
50 * then call the show function for that specific object.
