/sys has no officially designated function. Many distros use /sys as a virtual file system to export data from the kernel to userspace applications, such as when a new USB device is plugged in. However, this is completely optional, and is a fairly recent addition to the kernel.

In some older Unix systems, /sys was used to contain the kernel sources.
