/sys/ Limitations & Potential Workarounds

[aaronsuydam]

Hey fellow WSLers,

I'm working on a little side project to expose the information contained in /sys/ and /proc/ in a syntactically nice way in C++. I went to go pull /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq, but it turns out, only a subset of the /sys/ filesystem is exposed under WSL. I was wondering if anyone knew what's behind this limitation, and if there are any potential workarounds that wouldn't be too difficult for a college student with some spare time to work through.

Thanks in advance!
