LSDEV(1)  —  Series 500 Implementation

NAME

lsdev − list device drivers in the system

SYNOPSIS

/etc/lsdev [ major... ]

HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level: HP-UX/NON-STANDARD

Origin: HP

Remarks: This manual page describes lsdev as implemented on the Series 500. 
not supported on the Integral Personal Computer.

DESCRIPTION

With no arguments, lsdev lists, one pair per line, the major device numbers and driver names of all device drivers configured into the system and available for invocation via special files. 

If there are any arguments, they must represent major device numbers.  For each, lsdev lists the corresponding driver name (if any). 

Lsdev is simply a quick-reference aid.  In some implementations, it may only read an internal list of device drivers, not the actual list in the operating system. 

SEE ALSO

Section 4. 

DIAGNOSTICS

Lists the drivername as "no such driver" when appropriate.
