- type CMajor = CUInt
- type CMinor = CUInt
- deviceMajor :: DeviceID -> CMajor
- deviceMinor :: DeviceID -> CMinor
- makeDeviceID :: CMajor -> CMinor -> DeviceID
Device IDs.
deviceMajor :: DeviceID -> CMajor
Gets the major number from a DeviceID for a device file.
The portable implementation always returns 0.
deviceMinor :: DeviceID -> CMinor
Gets the minor number from a DeviceID for a device file.
The portable implementation always returns 0.
makeDeviceID :: CMajor -> CMinor -> DeviceID
Creates a DeviceID for a device file given a major and minor number.
