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.
