In: /usr/src/uts/vax/cf
This is what is in conf.c:
struct cdevsw cdevsw[] = {
/* 0*/ conopen, conclose, conread, conwrite,
conioctl, 0,
/* 1*/ dzopen, dzclose, dzread, dzwrite, dzioctl,
dz_tty,
/* 2*/ syopen, nulldev, syread, sywrite, syioctl, 0,
/* 3*/ nulldev, nulldev, mmread, mmwrite, nodev, 0,
/* 4*/ gdopen, gdclose, gdread, gdwrite, nodev, 0,
/* 5*/ htopen, htclose, htread, htwrite, nodev, 0,
/* 6*/ nodev, nodev, nodev, nodev, nodev, 0,
/* 7*/ nodev, nodev, nodev, nodev, nodev, 0,
/* 8*/ erropen, errclose, errread, nodev, nodev, 0,
};
In "master" sample entries are:
ts11 4 36 115 ts 4 1 5 1 5
tu78 1 36 515 hu 0 1 5 4 5
rm05 1 76 515 hm 0 0 4 8 5
nsc 4 77 5 nsc 8 0 10 1 5
ndb ct
*lp11 4 73 5 lp 4 0 6 1 4*
dn11 4 32 6 dn 8 0 7 4 5
vp 4 33 5 vp 16 0 14 1 5
vp
dmc11 8 37 6 dmc 8 0 19 1 5
Those numbers do not mean much to me.
Does this help in determining major/minor number for lp?
Thanks
Ken
