# ls /sys

# ls -l /sys

drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 0 Jun 5 2004
drwxr-xr-x 29 root root 0 Jun 5 2004 block
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 0 Jun 5 2004 bus
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 0 Jun 5 2004 class
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 Jun 5 2004 devices
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jun 5 2004 firmware
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 0 Jun 5 2004 module

I cannot enter that directory. Actually, it looks more like
directory named " ", because I get similar ls outputs when
I create regular directory named " ". However, I can enter into
regular directory named " ", unlike /sys one.

# mkdir " " a b c
# ls
a b c
# ls -l
