sysfs — виртуальная файловая система в операционной системе Linux. Экспортирует в пространство пользователя информацию ядра Linux о присутствующих в системе устройствах и драйверах. Впервые появилась в ядре версии 2.6. Необходимость создания была вызвана устаревшей системой работы ядра с устройствами.
