15.6. Device Links

Device links are created under the dev directory. A link to each serial node is created in dev/term, and a link to each parallel node is created in dev/printers.

Typical device links are:

/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.080020cf428a/dev/term/manufacturer_name-67a
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.080020cf428a/dev/printers/1608b-64

The variable is manufacturer_name-serial_numberindex where index is an increasing alphabetical character, starting at a.

If the manufacturer name is not available, the USB vendor and product ID numbers are used for the name of the device link.
