29 Linux Driver Set: liboskit_linux_dev.a

     

The Linux device driver library consists of various native Linux device drivers coupled with glue code to export the OSKit interfaces such as blkio, netio, and bufio (See Chapter 5). See the source file linux/dev/README for a list of devices and their status.

The header files oskit/dev/linux_ethernet.h and oskit/dev/linux_scsi.h determine which network and SCSI drivers are compiled into liboskit_linux_dev.a. Those files also influence driver probing; see the oskit_linux_init routines below.
