I totally agree that it would be desirable to have a library that help writing such *really* trivial translators. (libtrivtrivfs?... ;-) ) But as you mention yourself, this is not at all specific to proc; there are totally different kinds of translators that could use such a library just as well. I think this is out of scope for the procfs project. Maybe some followup project... -antrik-
