Why the .dump? Is there a deep reason why you can't use the directory itself
for that (since read != readdir)?
eg.
# ls /proc/net/eth0
bytesreceived
bytestransmitted
blah1
blah2
# cat /proc/net/eth0/bytesreceived
1234
# cat /proc/net/eth0
bytesreceived/1234
bytestransmitted/23345
blah1/23
blah2/3
(Obviously the format of the composed file has to be designed with
utmost care, the above was just an example.)
Or did I just wake the albod thread that everyone thought was dead?
