								Description:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										The /sys/devices/.../online attribute is only present for
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										devices whose bus types provide .online() and .offline()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										callbacks.  The number read from it (0 or 1) reflects the value
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										of the device's 'offline' field.  If that number is 1 and '0'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										(or 'n', or 'N') is written to this file, the device bus type's
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										.offline() callback is executed for the device and (if
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										successful) its 'offline' field is updated accordingly.  In
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										turn, if that number is 0 and '1' (or 'y', or 'Y') is written to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										this file, the device bus type's .online() callback is executed
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										for the device and (if successful) its 'offline' field is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										updated as appropriate.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										After a successful execution of the bus type's .offline()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										callback the device cannot be used for any purpose until either
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										it is removed (i.e. device_del() is called for it), or its bus
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
										type's .online() is exeucted successfully.
