+What:		/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/count
+KernelVersion:	4.17
+Contact:	linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Count data of Count Y. The following data types are available:
+
+		COUNT_POSITION_UNSIGNED:
+			Unsigned integer value representing position.
+
+		COUNT_POSITION_SIGNED:
+			Signed integer value representing position.
+
+What:		/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/function
+KernelVersion:	4.17
+Contact:	linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Count function mode of Count Y; count function evaluation is
+		triggered by conditions specified by the countY_signalZ_action
+		attributes. The following count functions are available:
+
+		Increase:
+			Accumulated count is incremented.
+
+		Decrease:
+			Accumulated count is decremented.
+
+		Pulse-Direction:
+			Rising edges on quadrature pair signal A updates the
+			respective count. The input level of quadrature pair
+			signal B determines direction.
+
+		Quadrature x1:
+			If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair
+			signal A updates the respective count; if the direction
+			is backward, falling edges on quadrature pair signal A
+			updates the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+			determines the direction.
+
+		Quadrature x2:
+			Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates
+			the respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the
+			direction.
+
+		Quadrature x4:
+			Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals
+			updates	the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+			determines the direction.

+Contact:	linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Read-only attribute that indicates the device-specific name of
+		Count Y. If possible, this should match the name of the
+		respective channel as it appears in the device datasheet
+		documentation text.

+Contact:	linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Action mode of Count Y for Signal Z. This attribute indicates
+		the condition of Signal Z that triggers the count function
+		evaluation for Count Y. The following action modes are
+		available:
+
+		None:
+			Signal does not trigger the count function. In
+			Pulse-Direction count function mode, this Signal is
+			evaluated as Direction.
+
+		Rising Edge:
+			Low state transitions to high state.
+
+		Falling Edge:
+			High state transitions to low state.
+
+		Both Edges:
+			Any state transition.
