Series 200/300 Implementation

NAME

lsdev − list device drivers in the system

SYNOPSIS

/etc/lsdev [ major... ]

Remarks:

This manual page describes Lsdev as implemented on the Series 200. 

Not supported on the Integral Personal Computer. 

DESCRIPTION

With no arguments, lsdev lists the major device numbers, for block and character files, and driver names of all device drivers configured into the system and available for invocation via special files.  A "-1" in either the block or character column means that a major number does not exist for that type. 

If there are any arguments, they must represent major device numbers.  The corresponding driver name, if any, will be printed for each argument.  Some numbers will return two driver names, one for the block and one for the character. 

Lsdev is simply a quick-reference aid.  In some implementations, it may only read an internal list of device drivers, not the actual list in the operating system.

Section 4. 

DIAGNOSTICS

Lists the drivername as "no such driver" when appropriate.
