SynopsisOffers practical, hands-on guidance in developing your own device drives. Clearly demonstrates how to write device drivers for adding disk drives, printers, magnetic tapes and other peripherals to your Unix system. Presents procedures for developing and testing new device drivers including how to select a convenient working directory; use make-files; preserve and boot alternative kernal versions; debug driver code and much more. Packed with examples which illustrate each operation in practice., A device driver is used in the UNIX system to control specific peripheral devices, such as floppy disks or cartridge tapes. This is the first book to deal exclusively with writing device driver software, allowing UNIX users to expand their system's flexibility by creating their own device drivers for those not supported by the company marketing the system. In clear and concise language, it provides detailed examples of driver logic, development methods, special requirements, and steps to connecting device driver programs to a variety of systems. Includes numerous sample programs, and an appendix with program listings for all examples.
