Configfs is a RAM-based virtual file system provided by the 2.6 Linux kernel. [1]
Details
Configfs appears similar to
sysfs but they are in fact different and complementary. Configfs is for creating, managing and destroying
kernel objects from
user-space, and
sysfs for viewing and manipulating objects from user-space which are created and destroyed by
kernel space.
[2] It is typically mounted at /sys/kernel/config (or more rarely at /config).
