NAME

devices − file of driver information for insf, mksf, lssf

DESCRIPTION

The devices file contains a description of I/O drivers, pseudo-drivers, hardware addresses and block/character major numbers.  It is created by uxgen (see uxgen(1M)). This file normally resides in the directory /etc. 

This is an ASCII file consisting of zero or more lines where each line is terminated by a new-line character.  Each line begins with a name which normally represents an I/O driver or pseudo-driver.  Tokens are separated by white space. 

Each parameter in the line is preceded by a keyword.  All parameters are optional.  The keywords are: lu, address, b_major, and c_major.  representing logical unit number, hardware address, block major number, character major number, respectively.  Parameters can appear in any order after the name; however, they must be directly preceded by their keyword. 

The following lines represent typical entries in a devices file:

cn                                           c_major 0
disc0   lu 0    address 28.0.0  b_major 0    c_major 4
disc0   lu 1    address 28.0.2  b_major 0    c_major 4
