Regions Walking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DAMOS feature allowing users access each region that a DAMOS action has just
applied. Using this feature, DAMON :ref:`API <damon_design_api>` allows users
access full properties of the regions including the access monitoring results.
:ref:`DAMON sysfs interface <sysfs_interface>` also allows users read the data
via special :ref:`files <sysfs_schemes_tried_regions>`.
