Take, as an example, the compression module parameter of the PWC (Philips Webcam) driver. Currently you can specify a value between 0 for uncompressed and 3 for high compression. If a GUI shows me that only values between 0 and 3 are allowed I could guess that I have to enter "3" for high compression without searching for the documentation. It would be even better if I could select four strings, "none", "low", "medium" and "high". I do see the advantages of using strings in proc, and maybe there is another solution: keep the type information out of the proc filesystem and save it in a file similar to Configure.help, together with a description for a file. I just don't know how to ensure that they are in sync. bye... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
