The Linux Programming Interface

File Systems

(01)主要内容

The majority of this chapter is concern with file systems, which are organized collections of files and directories.

(02)设备解释，有必要的驱动，统一的接口，供上层调用。

A device special file corresponds to a device on the system. Within the kernel, each device type has a corresponding device driver, which handles all I/O requests for the device.

A device driver is an unit of kernel code that implements a set of operations that (normally) correspond to input and output actions on an associated piece of hardware.

The API provides a consistent interface, hiding the differences in operation of individual devices, allows for universality of I/O.

(03) /dev目录

Device files appear within the file system, just like other files, usually under the /dev directory.

The superuser can create a device file using the mknod command.

(04)设备ID

Each device file has a major ID number and a minor ID number.

The major ID identifies the general class of device, and is used by the kernel to look up the appropriate driver for this type of device.

(05)磁盘和分区

A hard disk drive is a mechanical device consisting of one or more platters that rotate at high speed.

Each disk is divided into one or more partitions.
