Ok, I took a look. The open/write/read/close interface seems to be the best approach. It shouldn't be too hard, except the read/write interfaces don't pass in the attribute pointer like they do for the show/store interface. Is this a bug?
A nice feature of the current implementation is that I have one show function that reads the method name out of the attribute structure. With the bin_file interface, I'd need to have a different read/write function for every possible method on a kobject. I also lose the convenience of being able extend the container structure to meet my needs. Am I strecthing the use of the bin_file too far or should these interfaces pass the attribute pointer? Thanks,
Alex
