| What: /sys/devices/.../removable |
| Date: May 2021 |
| Contact: Rajat Jain <rajatxjain@gmail.com> |
| Description: |
| Information about whether a given device can be removed from the |
| platform by the user. This is determined by its subsystem in a |
| bus / platform-specific way. This attribute is only present for |
| devices that can support determining such information: |
| |
| "removable": device can be removed from the platform by the user |
| "fixed": device is fixed to the platform / cannot be removed |
| by the user. |
| "unknown": The information is unavailable / cannot be deduced. |
| |
| Currently this is only supported by USB (which infers the |
| information from a combination of hub descriptor bits and |
| platform-specific data such as ACPI) and PCI (which gets this |
| from ACPI / device tree). |
