On Wed, 08 Nov 2006, Michael Holzheu wrote: > +- If data has dimension units, encode that in the filename. Can we please encode units in the filename using a separator other than "_"? the reason for this is that _ is already_used_to_separate_words in the entries, and it gets difficult to know if something is part of the entry name or an unit. Please consider using ":" to separate units and other specific qualifiers (e.g. led colors) from the main attribute name. This helps userspace applications to behave better when faced with stuff like "a_b_c:unit1" and "a_b_c:unit2" at the same time. That said, AFAIK using units is explicitly discouraged on hwmon-style sysfs classes. The recent thread about a battery class illustrates this. Please keep this in mind. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
