The "MTP file Layer" is not the same thing as "everything is a file". MTP File Layer -> Virtual File System that any other tool can interact with (via the VFS "driver"), without needing to actually know how to talk to what's at the other end. Same basic idea as the kernel (and filesystems) acting as an intermediary between programs and the actual underlying block device. "Everything is a file" is the basic concept of UNIX and UNIX-Like operating systems. You can interact with any _thing_ using basic "file" operations. For example, if you had a printer capable of reading postscript at /dev/prt (i.e. taking the postscript and converting it to normal text). cat toPrint.ps > /dev/prt -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
