different linux interfaces

i want to know the different interfaces that linux provides like say the cdrom.h interface which allows a C program to include<linux/cdrom.h> and conttrol the CDROM drive and sound to play,pause,eject,etc.

are there interfaces for the hard disk,mouse,speaker,graphics card,etc which i can use in my C program to control these devices.

Take a look in /usr/src/linux/include. (On my machine "linux" is a soft link to the directory named for the active kernel.) Without worrying about a link, you can do:

cd /usr/src/`uname -r`/include
