Elsewhere in sysfs we do space-separated:

pavel at amd:~$ cat /sys/power/state
freeze mem disk

And we use [] to mark current selection:

pavel at amd:~$ cat /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:thinkvantage/trigger
[none] bluetooth-power rfkill-any rfkill-none kbd-scrolllock
kbd-numlock kbd-capslock kbd-kanalock kbd-shiftlock kbd-altgrlock
kbd-ctrllock kbd-altlock kbd-shiftllock kbd-shiftrlock kbd-ctrlllock
kbd-ctrlrlock AC-online BAT0-charging-or-full BAT0-charging BAT0-full
BAT0-charging-blink-full-solid rfkill0 phy0rx phy0tx phy0assoc
phy0radio phy0tpt mmc0 timer heartbeat audio-mute audio-micmute
rfkill1

Note this only works if you have less than PAGE_SIZE of entries... and
will never have more.
