No way, Jan is out of his mind, adding obfuscations like that. Anything but that. I didn't even bother to reply, because it never occurred to me that you'd fall for something so retarded.
Otherwise, /dbg sounds good.
Mike's objections sound philosophically congenial to me. What I'm trying to have here is to support an equivalent of tcpdump, which some may consider a core function rather than a debugging function. Of course, I could easily say "this is for debugging only" and thus deflect Mike, but this is not about winning, and actually I have no investment in any approach. For me the /sys is obviously out because of the "one file one value" doctrine. The /proc sounds attractive, but programming procfs is such a bother. If we had a debugfs style API to procfs, that would be the winner from the standpoint of this application. Failing that, I guess, it's /dbg.
