用udev在/dev/下动态生成设备文件,这样用户就不用手工调用mknod了。
利用的kernel API:
class_create : 创建class
class_destroy : 销毁class
class_device_create : 创建device
class_device_destroy : 销毁device
注意,这些API是2.6.13开始有的,在2.6.13之前,应当使用
class_simple_create
class_simple_destroy
class_simple_device_add
class_simple_device_remove
这一系列,也就是ldd3第14章描述的。 详见:
