Linux – /sys/ documentation

linuxman

Are there any man pages on the /sys/ directory and how devices are setup? I'm hoping that there may be something similar to man proc, but can't really find anything to push me in the right direction.

How devices are "set up", in general, has nothing to do with /sys. Most likely you are looking for information about udev or another hotplugging daemon.

You can find authoritative information about /sys (for which, the underlying filesystem is called sysfs) in the kernel documentation.
