🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/sys/fs/cgroup/

That's it. That's the whole vibe. One path, no options, no flags, nothing to configure — she's iconic like that 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: this directory is conventionally used as a mount point (like, that's just the tradition, everyone agreed) for a tmpfs(5) filesystem 💫

And inside that tmpfs? Other mount points. For cgroups(7) filesystems. It's mount points inside mount points, a little nesting doll setup, and honestly? Kind of obsessed 🎀

So the stack is literally:

• /sys/fs/cgroup/ → conventionally a mount point for a tmpfs(5) filesystem
• that tmpfs → contains mount points for cgroups(7) filesystems

Periodt. That's the whole description, no cap 🌈
