Hi Chaitanya,

Also I would like to know how a major number of a device file is used

identify a driver.

The major number is useful in creating a DEVICE NODE. One of the
parameters to the command mknod is the major number. The device node is
useful to access the device related things.

For more details please go through the 3rd chapter of Linux Device
Driver by Rubini 2nd Edition.

Regards,
Srinivas G

Hai,

I would like to know how Linux and Unix differ technically from
implementation point of view----like what are the basic differences
between
Linux and Unix---if any.

Also I would like to know how a major number of a device file is used

identify a driver .

Regards,
Chaitanya
