22 Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev.
23 For the different categories of devices, the mkdevalloc command checks
24 for the following files under /dev:
25
26 audio /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
27 tape /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
28 floppy /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
29 removable disk /dev/sr*, /dev/nsr*, /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
30 frame buffer /dev/fb

34 All entries set the device-minimum and device-maximum fields to the hex
35 representations of ADMIN_LOW and ADMIN_HIGH, respectively. The device-
36 authorization field is set to solaris.device.allocate, except for the
37 framebuffer entry, where it is set to *. The device-name, device-type
38 and device-clean fields are set to the following values:
39
40 device-name device-type device-clean

42 audio audio audio audio_clean_wrapper
43 tape mag_tape_0,1,... st st_clean
44 floppy floppy_0,1,... fd disk_clean
