Peter Anvin $<$hpa@zytor.com$>$} \date{Last revised: July 9, 1996} \maketitle % \noindent This list is the successor to Rick Miller's Linux Device List, which he stopped maintaining when he got busy with other things in 1993. It is a registry of allocated major device numbers, as well as the recommended {\file /dev} directory nodes for these devices. The latest version of this list is included with the Linux kernel sources in \LaTeX\ and ASCII form. In case of discrepancy, the \LaTeX\ version is authoritative. This document is included by reference into the Linux Filesystem Standard (FSSTND). The FSSTND is available via FTP from tsx-11.mit.edu in the directory {\file /pub/linux/docs/linux-standards/fsstnd}. To have a major number allocated, or a minor number in situations where that applies (e.g.\ busmice), please contact me with the appropriate device information. Also, if you have additional information regarding any of the devices listed below, or if I have made a mistake, I would greatly appreciate a note. When sending me mail, please include the word ``device'' in the subject so your mail won't accidentally get buried! Allocations marked (68k/Amiga) apply to Linux/68k on the Amiga platform only. Allocations marked (68k/Atari) apply to Linux/68k on the Atari platform only. This document is in the public domain. The author requests, however, that semantically altered versions are not distributed without permission of the author, assuming the author can be contacted without an unreasonable effort. In particular, please don't sent patches for this list to Linus, at least not without contacting me first. I do not have any information about these devices beyond what appears on this list. Any such information requests will be deleted without reply. \section{Major numbers} \begin{devicelist} \major{ 0}{}{ }{Unnamed devices (e.g. non-device mounts)} \major{ 1}{}{char }{Memory devices}

It is preferred that symbolic links use the same form (absolute or relative) as is indicated here. Links are classified as {\em hard\/} or {\em symbolic\/} depending on the preferred type of link; if possible, the indicated type of link should be used. \subsection{Compulsory links} These links should exist on all systems: \begin{nodelist} \link{/dev/fd}{/proc/self/fd}{symbolic}{File descriptors} \link{/dev/stdin}{fd/0}{symbolic}{Standard input file descriptor} \link{/dev/stdout}{fd/1}{symbolic}{Standard output file descriptor} \link{/dev/stderr}{fd/2}{symbolic}{Standard error file descriptor} \link{/dev/nfsd}{socksys}{symbolic}{Required by iBCS-2} \link{/dev/X0R}{null}{symbolic}{Required by iBCS-2} \end{nodelist} \noindent Note: The last device is: $<$letter {\tt X}$>$-$<$digit {\tt 0}$>$-$<$letter {\tt R}$>$. \subsection{Recommended links} It is recommended that these links exist on all systems: \begin{nodelist} \link{/dev/core}{/proc/kcore}{symbolic}{Backward compatibility} \link{/dev/ramdisk}{ram0}{symbolic}{Backward compatibility} \link{/dev/ftape}{rft0}{symbolic}{Backward compatibility} \link{/dev/scd?}{sr?}{hard}{Alternate name for CD-ROMs} %\link{/dev/fd?H*}{fd?D*}{hard}{Compatible floppy formats} %\link{/dev/fd?E*}{fd?D*}{hard}{Compatible floppy formats} %\link{/dev/fd?E*}{fd?H*}{hard}{Compatible floppy formats} \end{nodelist} \subsection{Locally defined links} The following links may be established locally to conform to the configuration of the system. This is merely a tabulation of existing practice, and does not constitute a recommendation. However, if they exist, they should have the following uses. \begin{nodelist} \vlink{/dev/mouse}{mouse port}{symbolic}{Current mouse device} \vlink{/dev/tape}{tape device}{symbolic}{Current tape device} \vlink{/dev/cdrom}{CD-ROM device}{symbolic}{Current CD-ROM device} \vlink{/dev/cdwriter}{CD-writer}{symbolic}{Current CD-writer device} \vlink{/dev/scanner}{scanner device}{symbolic}{Current scanner device} \vlink{/dev/modem}{modem port}{symbolic}{Current dialout device} \vlink{/dev/root}{root device}{symbolic}{Current root filesystem} \vlink{/dev/swap}{swap device}{symbolic}{Current swap device} \end{nodelist} \noindent {\file /dev/modem} should not be used for a modem which supports dialin as well as dialout, as it tends to cause lock file problems. If it exists, {\file /dev/modem} should point to the appropriate dialout (alternate) device. For SCSI devices, {\file /dev/tape} and {\file /dev/cdrom} should point to the ``cooked'' devices ({\file /dev/st*} and {\file /dev/sr*}, respectively), whereas {\file /dev/cdwriter} and {\file /dev/scanner} should point to the appropriate generic SCSI devices ({\file /dev/sg*}.) {\file /dev/mouse} may point to a primary serial TTY device, a hardware mouse device, or a socket for a mouse driver program (e.g. {\file /dev/gpmdata}.) \subsection{Sockets and pipes} Non-transient sockets or named pipes may exist in {\file /dev}. Common entries are: \begin{nodelist} \node{/dev/printer}{socket}{{\file lpd} local socket} \node{/dev/log}{socket}{{\file syslog} local socket} \node{/dev/gpmdata}{socket}{{\file gpm} mouse multiplexer} \end{nodelist} \end{document}
