Specialized Device Drivers
|
|
|
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All device drivers that are accessible to application logic are
|
|
|
|
|
either: (1) Character device drivers that can be accessed via the
|
|
|
|
|
standard driver operations (``open()``, ``close()``, ``read()``,
|
|
|
|
|
``write()``, etc.), or (2) block drivers that can be accessing
|
|
|
|
|
only as part of mounting a file system or other special use cases
|
|
|
|
|
as described in the preceding paragraph.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to this, there are also specialized "drivers" that can
|
|
|
|
|
be used only within the OS logic itself and are not accessible to
|
|
|
|
|
application logic. These specialized drivers are discussed in the
|
|
|
|
|
following section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
While special drivers are *internal*, in some cases there are also
|
|
|
|
|
character/block drivers that sit on top of these special drivers
|
|
|
|
|
and thus expose them to applications.
