DAMON supports multiple types of monitoring operations, including those for
virtual address space and the physical address space. You can set and get what
type of monitoring operations DAMON will use for the context by writing one of
below keywords to, and reading from the file.
virtual address space and the physical address space. You can get the list of
available monitoring operations set on the currently running kernel by reading
``avail_operations`` file. Based on the kernel configuration, the file will
list some or all of below keywords.
- vaddr: Monitor virtual address spaces of specific processes
- paddr: Monitor the physical address space of the system
You can set and get what type of monitoring operations DAMON will use for the
context by writing one of the keywords listed in ``avail_operations`` file and
