NAME
       intro - Introduction to special files

DESCRIPTION
       Section	7  describes  the special files, related driver functions, and
       networking support available in the system. In this section of the ref‐
       erence  pages, the SYNOPSIS heading of each configurable device gives a
       sample specification for use in constructing a system  description  for
       the  config  program.   The DIAGNOSTICS heading lists messages that may
       appear  on  the	console	  and	in   the   system   error   log	  file
       /usr/adm/syserr/syserr.hostname due to errors in device operation.

       Software	 support  for configurable devices comes in two forms. A hard‐
       ware device may be supported with a character or	 block	device	driver
       or,  if	used  within the networking subsystem, may be supported with a
       network interface driver.

       There are some devices that have fixed input/output space CSR addresses
       and  interrupt  vector  addresses.  There  are  no  address switches or
       jumpers that need to be set up by the customer or Field Service.

       Some reference pages in this section  may  contain  suffixes  to	 allow
       their  files  to	 exist	with those of other reference pages having the
       same base name and section number. When used, suffixes are made	up  of
       one  to	four letters.  See the man(1) reference page for more informa‐
       tion on suffixes.
