         found in the corresponding master.d file.  Name is the boot hame of
         the driver.  Getmajor will convert name to lower case before
         searching for the master file.

         Getmajor searches the directory /etc/master.d for the master file.
         The [-m] option can be used to specify an alternate master directory.
