NAME

lsdev − list device drivers in the system

SYNOPSIS

/etc/lsdev [ major... ]

DESCRIPTION

With no arguments, lsdev lists, one pair per line, the major device numbers 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.  For each, lsdev lists the corresponding driver name (if any). 

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. 

DIAGNOSTICS

Lists the drivername as "NO SUCH DRIVER" when appropriate. 

WARNINGS

Some device drivers available from the system may be intended for use by other drivers.  You may get unexpected results if you try to use them directly from a special file. 

AUTHOR

Lsdev was developed by HP.
