Wow, if we could get the kernel, dev's and their interfaces documented, I think it would attract more kernel hackers and device driver developers! The solaris2.5 developers kit has a preaty decent section-9, broken down as: man9e (entry points) man9f (functions) man9s (structures) A nice touch they throw in is source code examples for generic device drivers including ncrscsi, ethernet, video, and audio. Things like this make it easy to just 'jump right in' and also get a good feeling for what is where when things go wrong. Rob Mallory [rmallory@csusb.edu][mallorrp@sce.com]
