sorry, this makes no sense... what are you actually trying to do...? "device" could mean anything.

/dev/ entries are not files. they have no content to edit. they are symbolic references to memory locations, ports etc... only thing about them really is their minor and major block numbers. again, explain what you are actually trying to achieve.
