+file system named sysfs.
+
+Almost all mainstream Linux distros mount this filesystem automatically; you
+can see some variation of the following in the output of the "mount" command:
+
+$ mount
+...
+none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
+...
+$
+
+The auto-mounting of sysfs is typically accomplished by an entry similar to
+the following in the /etc/fstab file:
+
+none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
