   5 Description:
   6                 The pwm/ class sub-directory belongs to the Generic PWM
   7                 Framework and provides a sysfs interface for using PWM
   8                 channels.

  86                 Capture information about a PWM signal. The output format is a
  87                 pair unsigned integers (period and duty cycle), separated by a
  88                 single space.
