NAME
devclass —
object representing a class of
devices
SYNOPSIS
typedef struct devclass *devclass_t;
DESCRIPTION
Thedevclass object has two main functions in the
system. The first is to manage the allocation of unit numbers for device
instances and the second is to hold the list of device drivers for a
particular bus type. Each devclass has a name and
there cannot be two devclasses with the same name. This ensures that unique
unit numbers are allocated to device instances.
