🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this subdirectory? It's giving directory of legends. Inside it there's one symbolic link for every single block device that's been discovered on the system 🫶

And where do those symlinks point, you ask? 👀 They point to the corresponding directories under /sys/devices/. That's it. That's the whole relationship. Iconic, honestly 🌈

not a single block device left behind — if it got discovered, it got a link ✨
