Abstract

A file containing a transformation template allows a user to access system data. The transformation template can include multiple data streams for accessing different system data, or the same data in different ways. The transformation template can format system data both on read and write commands. The transformation template is accessed using the six basic file system APIs. The transformation template instructs the system as to how the system data is to be manipulated. The transformation template is saved on the file system using a write API and writing a virtual I/O command. The transformation template is then accessed. The transformation template generates the data dynamically either from a memory location or from a generating function, and formats it according to the active data stream.
