Hi List,
I'm new to NetBSD kernel development and right now, I'm trying to get =
the
big picture of how the NetBSD kernel works. (I did device driver =
programing on Linux befor).
I followed some docs and found that a device driver (can/should) support =
these operations:
open,close,probe,attach,read,write,ioctl - complete ?
What about the seek operation ?
I didn't find it.
Any help is appriciate.
Stefan Sonnenberg
