[/dev] the Linux Devices List
I'd like to ask you all to help me complete this list of /dev devices and their purpouses. And I also have the optional Most Destructive Command.
Let me start with what I already know: /dev/ usage most destructive dsp For playing audio cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp fdx Floppy drive hdxx IDE partition cat /dev/urandom > /dev/hda mem Physical memory null The Eternal Sink Hole random produces random output \ on input cat /dev/random > /dev/hda urandom Eternal random char \ generator mv /dev/urandom > /dev/null As you see, these are only few (I don't know much) and I'm sure the list is packed with errors. Please post FIXMEs and other devices you know, and their discriptions! |
/dev/mouse Mouse (link to whatever you need)
/dev/psaux PS/2 mouse /dev/cdrom CDROM /dev/dri Something to do with 3D acceleration /dev/stdin STDIN /dev/stdout STDOUT /dev/stderr STDERR |
