Hello,
Release 0.4.0 for libsysfs is now available at:
http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net
A number of changes have been made in this release which will
require a few modifications to applications already using
the library. (udev-009 already has a bulk of these changes).
Here are the important additions/changes:
* Postponed reading directories and attributes until
absolutely necessary.
* Structure elements that are lists or references to
structures are not populated by default. APIs
have now been provided to populate them.
* All "open" functions that take absolute path as argument
now have a "_path" suffix.
* Provided attribute "refresh" functions to read in updated
attribute values.
* Changes for klibc compatibility.
* Provided APIs to retrieve device/class_device "parent".
* Added manpages for lsbus and systool (Thanks to Martin Pitt).
Please visit http://linux-diag.sourceforge.net/Sysfsutils.html for
more information.
Comments, suggestions welcome!
Thanks,
Ananth
