NAME
MAJOR, MINOR, MKDEV - macros to manipulate device major/minor numbersSYNOPSIS
#include <linux/fs.h>#define MAJOR(dev)
#define MINOR(dev)
#define MKDEV(major, minor)
DESCRIPTION
- The MAJOR and MINOR macros extract from a device id (of type dev_t) the major and minor numbers respectively. It is the combined device number that is found in the struct~file structure.
The MKDEV macro assembles a device number from the supplied major and minor numbers.
RETURN VALUE
Describe the return values. Enumerate all the distinct values and all the ranges.AVAILABILITY
Linux 0.0+In later kernels (Linux 2.1 and later) there is movement towards using 64bit device numbers. Although it is generally a good idea to not presume to know how device numbers are constructed, it is during this period of transition fundamentally important that you ONLY use these functions to manipulate device numbers.
SEE ALSO
