1 2 LINUX ALLOCATED DEVICES (2.6+ version) 3 4 Maintained by Alan Cox <device[AT]lanana[DOT]org> 5 6 Last revised: 6th April 2009 7 8 This list is the Linux Device List, the official registry of allocated 9 device numbers and /dev directory nodes for the Linux operating 10 system. 11 12 The latest version of this list is available from 13 http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/ or 14 ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/device-list/. This version may be 15 newer than the one distributed with the Linux kernel. 16 17 The LaTeX version of this document is no longer maintained. 18 19 This document is included by reference into the Filesystem Hierarchy 20 Standard (FHS). The FHS is available from http://www.pathname.com/fhs/. 21 22 Allocations marked (68k/Amiga) apply to Linux/68k on the Amiga 23 platform only. Allocations marked (68k/Atari) apply to Linux/68k on 24 the Atari platform only. 25 26 The symbol {2.6} means the allocation is obsolete and scheduled for 27 removal once kernel version 2.6 (or equivalent) is released. Some of these 28 allocations have already been removed. 29 30 This document is in the public domain. The author requests, however, 31 that semantically altered versions are not distributed without 32 permission of the author, assuming the author can be contacted without 33 an unreasonable effort. 34 35 In particular, please don't sent patches for this list to Linus, at 36 least not without contacting me first. 37 38 I do not have any information about these devices beyond what appears 39 on this list. Any such information requests will be deleted without 40 reply. 41 42 43 **** DEVICE DRIVERS AUTHORS PLEASE READ THIS **** 44 45 To have a major number allocated, or a minor number in situations 46 where that applies (e.g. busmice), please contact me with the 47 appropriate device information. Also, if you have additional 48 information regarding any of the devices listed below, or if I have 49 made a mistake, I would greatly appreciate a note. 50 51 I do, however, make a few requests about the nature of your report. 52 This is necessary for me to be able to keep this list up to date and 53 correct in a timely manner. First of all, *please* send it to the 54 correct address... <device[AT]lanana.org>[DOT] I receive hundreds of email 55 messages a day, so mail sent to other addresses may very well get lost 56 in the avalanche. Please put in a descriptive subject, so I can find 57 your mail again should I need to. Too many people send me email 58 saying just "device number request" in the subject. 59 60 Second, please include a description of the device *in the same format 61 as this list*. The reason for this is that it is the only way I have 62 found to ensure I have all the requisite information to publish your 63 device and avoid conflicts. 64 65 Third, please don't assume that the distributed version of the list is 66 up to date. Due to the number of registrations I have to maintain it 67 in "batch mode", so there is likely additional registrations that 68 haven't been listed yet. 69 70 Fourth, remember that Linux now has extensive support for dynamic allocation 71 of device numbering and can use sysfs and udev to handle the naming needs. 72 There are still some exceptions in the serial and boot device area. Before 73 asking for a device number make sure you actually need one. 74 75 Finally, sometimes I have to play "namespace police." Please don't be 76 offended. I often get submissions for /dev names that would be bound 77 to cause conflicts down the road. I am trying to avoid getting in a 78 situation where we would have to suffer an incompatible forward 79 change. Therefore, please consult with me *before* you make your 80 device names and numbers in any way public, at least to the point 81 where it would be at all difficult to get them changed. 82 83 Your cooperation is appreciated. 84 85 86 0 Unnamed devices (e.g. non-device mounts) 87 0 = reserved as null device number 88 See block major 144, 145, 146 for expansion areas. 89 90 1 char Memory devices 91 1 = /dev/mem Physical memory access 92 2 = /dev/kmem Kernel virtual memory access 93 3 = /dev/null Null device 94 4 = /dev/port I/O port access 95 5 = /dev/zero Null byte source 96 6 = /dev/core OBSOLETE - replaced by /proc/kcore 97 7 = /dev/full Returns ENOSPC on write 98 8 = /dev/random Nondeterministic random number gen. 99 9 = /dev/urandom Faster, less secure random number gen. 100 10 = /dev/aio Asynchronous I/O notification interface 101 11 = /dev/kmsg Writes to this come out as printk's 102 12 = /dev/oldmem Used by crashdump kernels to access 103 the memory of the kernel that crashed. 104 105 1 block RAM disk 106 0 = /dev/ram0 First RAM disk 107 1 = /dev/ram1 Second RAM disk 108 ... 109 250 = /dev/initrd Initial RAM disk 110 111 Older kernels had /dev/ramdisk (1, 1) here. 112 /dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded 113 by the boot loader; newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for 114 the initrd. 115 116 2 char Pseudo-TTY masters 117 0 = /dev/ptyp0 First PTY master 118 1 = /dev/ptyp1 Second PTY master 119 ... 120 255 = /dev/ptyef 256th PTY master 121 122 Pseudo-tty's are named as follows: 123 * Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty"; 124 * the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating 125 the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and 126 * the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating 127 the position within the series. 128 129 These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98 130 devices are on major 128 and above and use the PTY 131 master multiplex (/dev/ptmx) to acquire a PTY on 132 demand. 133 134 2 block Floppy disks 135 0 = /dev/fd0 Controller 0, drive 0, autodetect 136 1 = /dev/fd1 Controller 0, drive 1, autodetect 137 2 = /dev/fd2 Controller 0, drive 2, autodetect 138 3 = /dev/fd3 Controller 0, drive 3, autodetect 139 128 = /dev/fd4 Controller 1, drive 0, autodetect 140 129 = /dev/fd5 Controller 1, drive 1, autodetect 141 130 = /dev/fd6 Controller 1, drive 2, autodetect 142 131 = /dev/fd7 Controller 1, drive 3, autodetect 143 144 To specify format, add to the autodetect device number: 145 0 = /dev/fd?

A 3236 terminal device is any device that could act as a controlling terminal 3237 for a session; this includes virtual consoles, serial ports, and 3238 pseudoterminals (PTYs). 3239 3240 All terminal devices share a common set of capabilities known as line 3241 disciplines; these include the common terminal line discipline as well 3242 as SLIP and PPP modes. 3243 3244 All terminal devices are named similarly; this section explains the 3245 naming and use of the various types of TTYs. Note that the naming 3246 conventions include several historical warts; some of these are 3247 Linux-specific, some were inherited from other systems, and some 3248 reflect Linux outgrowing a borrowed convention. 3249 3250 A hash mark (#) in a device name is used here to indicate a decimal 3251 number without leading zeroes. 3252 3253 Virtual consoles and the console device 3254 3255 Virtual consoles are full-screen terminal displays on the system video 3256 monitor. Virtual consoles are named /dev/tty#, with numbering 3257 starting at /dev/tty1; /dev/tty0 is the current virtual console. 3258 /dev/tty0 is the device that should be used to access the system video 3259 card on those architectures for which the frame buffer devices 3260 (/dev/fb*) are not applicable. Do not use /dev/console 3261 for this purpose. 3262 3263 The console device, /dev/console, is the device to which system 3264 messages should be sent, and on which logins should be permitted in 3265 single-user mode. Starting with Linux 2.1.71, /dev/console is managed 3266 by the kernel; for previous versions it should be a symbolic link to 3267 either /dev/tty0, a specific virtual console such as /dev/tty1, or to 3268 a serial port primary (tty*, not cu*) device, depending on the 3269 configuration of the system. 3270 3271 Serial ports 3272 3273 Serial ports are RS-232 serial ports and any device which simulates 3274 one, either in hardware (such as internal modems) or in software (such 3275 as the ISDN driver.) Under Linux, each serial ports has two device 3276 names, the primary or callin device and the alternate or callout one. 3277 Each kind of device is indicated by a different letter. For any 3278 letter X, the names of the devices are /dev/ttyX# and /dev/cux#, 3279 respectively; for historical reasons, /dev/ttyS# and /dev/ttyC# 3280 correspond to /dev/cua# and /dev/cub#. In the future, it should be 3281 expected that multiple letters will be used; all letters will be upper 3282 case for the "tty" device (e.g. /dev/ttyDP#) and lower case for the 3283 "cu" device (e.g. /dev/cudp#). 3284 3285 The names /dev/ttyQ# and /dev/cuq# are reserved for local use. 3286 3287 The alternate devices provide for kernel-based exclusion and somewhat 3288 different defaults than the primary devices. Their main purpose is to 3289 allow the use of serial ports with programs with no inherent or broken 3290 support for serial ports. Their use is deprecated, and they may be 3291 removed from a future version of Linux. 3292 3293 Arbitration of serial ports is provided by the use of lock files with 3294 the names /var/lock/LCK..ttyX#. The contents of the lock file should 3295 be the PID of the locking process as an ASCII number. 3296 3297 It is common practice to install links such as /dev/modem 3298 which point to serial ports. In order to ensure proper locking in the 3299 presence of these links, it is recommended that software chase 3300 symlinks and lock all possible names; additionally, it is recommended 3301 that a lock file be installed with the corresponding alternate 3302 device. In order to avoid deadlocks, it is recommended that the locks 3303 are acquired in the following order, and released in the reverse: 3304 3305 1. The symbolic link name, if any (/var/lock/LCK..modem) 3306 2. The "tty" name (/var/lock/LCK..ttyS2) 3307 3. The alternate device name (/var/lock/LCK..cua2) 3308 3309 In the case of nested symbolic links, the lock files should be 3310 installed in the order the symlinks are resolved. 3311 3312 Under no circumstances should an application hold a lock while waiting 3313 for another to be released. In addition, applications which attempt 3314 to create lock files for the corresponding alternate device names 3315 should take into account the possibility of being used on a non-serial 3316 port TTY, for which no alternate device would exist. 3317 3318 Pseudoterminals (PTYs) 3319 3320 Pseudoterminals, or PTYs, are used to create login sessions or provide 3321 other capabilities requiring a TTY line discipline (including SLIP or 3322 PPP capability) to arbitrary data-generation processes. Each PTY has 3323 a master side, named /dev/pty[p-za-e][0-9a-f], and a slave side, named 3324 /dev/tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]. The kernel arbitrates the use of PTYs by 3325 allowing each master side to be opened only once. 3326 3327 Once the master side has been opened, the corresponding slave device 3328 can be used in the same manner as any TTY device. The master and 3329 slave devices are connected by the kernel, generating the equivalent 3330 of a bidirectional pipe with TTY capabilities. 3331 3332 Recent versions of the Linux kernels and GNU libc contain support for 3333 the System V/Unix98 naming scheme for PTYs, which assigns a common 3334 device, /dev/ptmx, to all the masters (opening it will automatically 3335 give you a previously unassigned PTY) and a subdirectory, /dev/pts, 3336 for the slaves; the slaves are named with decimal integers (/dev/pts/# 3337 in our notation). This removes the problem of exhausting the 3338 namespace and enables the kernel to automatically create the device 3339 nodes for the slaves on demand using the "devpts" filesystem.
