This list is the successor to Rick Miller's Linux Device List, which
|
| 8 |
|
|
he stopped maintaining when he got busy with other things in 1993. It
|
| 9 |
|
|
is a registry of allocated major device numbers, as well as the
|
| 10 |
|
|
recommended /dev directory nodes for these devices.
|
| 11 |
|
|
|
| 12 |
|
|
The latest version of this list is included with the Linux kernel
|
| 13 |
|
|
sources in LaTeX and ASCII form. In case of discrepancy, the LaTeX
|
| 14 |
|
|
version is authoritative.
|
| 15 |
|
|
|
| 16 |
|
|
This document is included by reference into the Linux Filesystem
|
| 17 |
|
|
Standard (FSSTND). The FSSTND is available via FTP from
|
| 18 |
|
|
tsx-11.mit.edu in the directory /pub/linux/docs/linux-standards/fsstnd.
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
To have a major number allocated, or a minor number in situations
|
| 21 |
|
|
where that applies (e.g. busmice), please contact me with the
|
| 22 |
|
|
appropriate device information. Also, if you have additional
|
| 23 |
|
|
information regarding any of the devices listed below, or if I have
|
| 24 |
|
|
made a mistake, I would greatly appreciate a note. When sending me
|
| 25 |
|
|
mail, please include the word "device" in the subject so your mail
|
| 26 |
|
|
won't accidentally get buried!

Allocations marked (68k/Amiga) apply to Linux/68k on the Amiga
|
| 29 |
|
|
platform only. Allocations marked (68k/Atari) apply to Linux/68k on
|
| 30 |
|
|
the Atari platform only.

This document is in the public domain. The author requests, however,
|
| 33 |
|
|
that semantically altered versions are not distributed without
|
| 34 |
|
|
permission of the author, assuming the author can be contacted without
|
| 35 |
|
|
an unreasonable effort.
|
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
In particular, please don't sent patches for this list to Linus, at
|
| 38 |
|
|
least not without contacting me first.
|
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
|
|
I do not have any information about these devices beyond what appears
|
| 41 |
|
|
on this list. Any such information requests will be deleted without
|
| 42 |
|
|
reply.

/dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded

by the boot loader.

Pseudo-tty's are named as follows:

|
* Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty";

|
|
* the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating

|
the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and
|
| 77 |

|
* the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating
|
| 78 |
|
|
the position within the series.

NOTE: The letter in the device name (d, q, h or u)
|
| 130 |
|
|
signifies the type of drive: 5.25" Double Density (d),
|
| 131 |
|
|
5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
|
| 132 |
|
|
(any model, u). The use of the capital letters D, H
|
| 133 |
|
|
and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
|
| 134 |
|
|
the drive type is insignificant for these devices.

For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
|
| 154 |
|
|
partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.

Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes

appropriate to their respective architectures.

For compatibility with previous versions of Linux, the

first 64 PTYs are replicated under this device

number. This use will be obsolescent with the release

of Linux 1.4 and may be removed in a future version of

|
|
Linux.

|

Not all computers have the 0x3bc parallel port; hence
|
| 192 |

the "first" printer may be either /dev/lp0 or

/dev/lp1.

|
|
|

|
The loopback devices are used to mount filesystems not
|
| 213 |
|
|
associated with block devices. The binding to the
|
| 214 |
|
|
loopback devices is usually handled by mount(8).

|
|
"No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
|
| 254 |
|
|
automatic rewind on device close. The MTREW or MTOFFL
|
| 255 |
|
|
ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
|
| 256 |
|
|
the device used to access it.

The metadisk driver is used to span a

file system across multiple physical disks.

supported on Linux/68k and Linux/SPARC. The plain

|
| 529 |

(Linux/68k calls this device "current",
|
| 530 |
|

e.g. /dev/fb0current); the "autodetect" one at bootup
|
| 531 |
|
|
(default) resolution. Minor numbers 2-23 within each
|
| 532 |
|
|
frame buffer assignment are used for specific
|
| 533 |
|
|
device-dependent resolutions. There appears to be no

standard naming for these devices. Finally, 2-31

modes, usually entered at boot time. Currently only

Locally defined links
|
| 845 |
|
|
|
| 846 |
|
|
The following links may be established locally to conform to the
|
| 847 |
|
|
configuration of the system. This is merely a tabulation of existing
|
| 848 |
|
|
practice, and does not constitute a recommendation. However, if they
|
| 849 |
|
|
exist, they should have the following uses.
|
| 850 |
|
|
|
| 851 |
|
|
/dev/mouse mouse port symbolic Current mouse device
|
| 852 |
|
|
/dev/tape tape device symbolic Current tape device
|
| 853 |
|
|
/dev/cdrom CD-ROM device symbolic Current CD-ROM device
|
| 854 |
|
|

|

|
| 858 |
|
|
/dev/swap swap device symbolic Current swap device
|
| 859 |
|
|
|
| 860 |
|
|
/dev/modem should not be used for a modem which supports dialin as
|
| 861 |
|
|
well as dialout, as it tends to cause lock file problems. If it
|
| 862 |
|
|
exists, /dev/modem should point to the appropriate dialout (alternate)
|
| 863 |
|
|
device.
|
| 864 |
|
|
|
| 865 |
|
|
For SCSI devices, /dev/tape and /dev/cdrom should point to the
|
| 866 |
|
|
``cooked'' devices (/dev/st* and /dev/sr*, respectively), whereas
|
| 867 |
|
|
/dev/cdwriter and /dev/scanner should point to the appropriate generic
|
| 868 |
|
|
SCSI devices (/dev/sg*).
|
| 869 |
|
|
|
| 870 |
|
|
/dev/mouse may point to a primary serial TTY device, a hardware mouse
|
| 871 |
|
|
device, or a socket for a mouse driver program (e.g. /dev/gpmdata).
|
| 872 |
|
|
|
| 873 |
|
|
Sockets and pipes
|
| 874 |
|
|
|
| 875 |
|
|
Non-transient sockets and named pipes may exist in /dev. Common entries are:
|
| 876 |
|
|
|
| 877 |
|
|
/dev/printer socket lpd local socket
|
| 878 |
|
|
/dev/log socket syslog local socket
|
| 879 |
|
|
/dev/gpmdata socket gpm mouse multiplexer
