+Runtime sysfs attributes
+------------------------
+
+zonefs defines several sysfs attributes for mounted devices. All attributes
+are user readable and can be found in the directory /sys/fs/zonefs/<dev>/,
+where <dev> is the name of the mounted zoned block device.
+
+The attributes defined are as follows.
+
+* **max_wro_seq_files**: This attribute reports the maximum number of
+ sequential zone files that can be open for writing. This number corresponds
+ to the maximum number of explicitly or implicitly open zones that the device
+ supports. A value of 0 means that the device has no limit and that any zone
+ (any file) can be open for writing and written at any time, regardless of the
+ state of other zones. When the *explicit-open* mount option is used, zonefs
+ will fail any open() system call requesting to open a sequential zone file for
+ writing when the number of sequential zone files already open for writing has
+ reached the *max_wro_seq_files* limit.
+* **nr_wro_seq_files**: This attribute reports the current number of sequential
+ zone files open for writing. When the "explicit-open" mount option is used,
+ this number can never exceed *max_wro_seq_files*. If the *explicit-open*
+ mount option is not used, the reported number can be greater than
+ *max_wro_seq_files*. In such case, it is the responsibility of the
+ application to not write simultaneously more than *max_wro_seq_files*
+ sequential zone files. Failure to do so can result in write errors.
+* **max_active_seq_files**: This attribute reports the maximum number of
+ sequential zone files that are in an active state, that is, sequential zone
+ files that are partially writen (not empty nor full) or that have a zone that
+ is explicitly open (which happens only if the *explicit-open* mount option is
+ used). This number is always equal to the maximum number of active zones that
+ the device supports. A value of 0 means that the mounted device has no limit
+ on the number of sequential zone files that can be active.
+* **nr_active_seq_files**: This attributes reports the current number of
+ sequential zone files that are active. If *max_active_seq_files* is not 0,
+ then the value of *nr_active_seq_files* can never exceed the value of
+ *nr_active_seq_files*, regardless of the use of the *explicit-open* mount
+ option.
