man pages help
 

Hi
I am new to linux and i am studying linux device drivers. I am using FEDORA 9. I am not able to get the man pages for the device driver system calls.

i want to get man pages which give information about the data structure

struct file_operations
struct file

and other related datastructures their member function pointers and explanation.

How can i get it.

I've never seen device driver man pages. It is time to start reading and becoming very familiar with the kernel source Documentation, under your kernel source tree /usr/src/linux/Documentation.

i dont have documentation in the specified direcctory

[root@localhost redhat]# ls
BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS
[root@localhost redhat]# pwd
/usr/src/redhat

in BUILD RPMS SOURCES SPECS SRPMS there is nothing present.


I am using FEDORA 9.

That's RedHat's RPMS directories.

Just downlaod the kernel if you want, or get the kernel source pacakges and insttal those.

Try out This will help .But these pages are very vast in nature.
