As pointed out earlier, this is not true. Major numbers can be non-zero. | #define major(x) ((int)(((u_int)(x) >> 8)&0xff)) Devices 256-511 will have a major number of 1, etc. Apart from that, I think there is also a fair amount of overlap with the COMPATIBILITY section of the same manpage. -- Ed Schouten <e...@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/
