Do you mean sysfs file can only accept "one value"?

I see that more than one value are written to the sysfs file 
"trigout_attach".

I also see other sysfs files can be read more than one value in other 
drivers.

Is this "one value" limitation the usage rule of Linux sysfs system?

Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?
