What:		/sys/dev
 | 
						|
Date:		April 2008
 | 
						|
KernelVersion:	2.6.26
 |

Contact:	Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
 |

Description:	The /sys/dev tree provides a method to look up the sysfs
 | 
						|
		path for a device using the information returned from
 | 
						|
		stat(2).  There are two directories, 'block' and 'char',
 | 
						|
		beneath /sys/dev containing symbolic links with names of
 | 
						|
		the form "<major>:<minor>".  These links point to the
 | 
						|
		corresponding sysfs path for the given device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		Example::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		  $ readlink /sys/dev/block/8:32
 | 
						|
		  ../../block/sdc
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
		Entries in /sys/dev/char and /sys/dev/block will be
 | 
						|
		dynamically created and destroyed as devices enter and
 | 
						|
		leave the system.
