/** * __register_chrdev() - create and register a cdev occupying a range of minors * @major: major device number or 0 for dynamic allocation * @baseminor: first of the requested range of minor numbers * @count: the number of minor numbers required * @name: name of this range of devices * @fops: file operations associated with this devices * * If @major == 0 this functions will dynamically allocate a major and return * its number. * * If @major > 0 this function will attempt to reserve a device with the given * major number and will return zero on success. * * Returns a -ve errno on failure. * * The name of this device has nothing to do with the name of the device in * /dev. It only helps to keep track of the different owners of devices. If * your module name has only one type of devices it's ok to use e.g. the name * of the module here. */ int __register_chrdev(unsigned int major, unsigned int baseminor, ¦ ¦ unsigned int count, const char *name, ¦ ¦ const struct file_operations *fops) {
