Anyone know where I can find a listing/explanation of all the devices listed in /dev?
The /dev files are all listed in /etc/makedev.d/*, which are the configuration files for the /dev/MAKEDEV program which created the devices.
The allocation of device numbers is coordinated by http://www.lanana.org/ The corresponding kernel module for a device number can be found by asking the kernel module system: modprobe -c | grep 'alias .*-major-' This won't list all allocations (as not all devices are handled by modules, at least yet). Specific modules are documented all over the place, /usr/src/linux*/Docuementation being a reasonable starting point. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
