|  | 2 | tristate "Userspace-driven configuration filesystem" | 
|  | 3 | depends on SYSFS | 
|  | 4 | help | 
|  | 5 | configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse | 
|  | 6 | of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based | 
|  | 7 | view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager | 
|  | 8 | of kernel objects, or config_items. | 
|  | 9 |  | 
|  | 10 | Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the | 
|  | 11 | same system. One is not a replacement for the other. |
