[Stephan Saß]

hi.

i would like to extract the device name from a dev_t-datatype
under solaris. under bsd i use devname() to do this but how
does it work under solaris?

i'm completely guessing here, but maybe this is useful:

Solaris 8:

root@zeus[/usr/include/sys] $ grep devnm *
devinfo_impl.h:struct di_devnm {
root@zeus[/usr/include/sys] $ grep devinfo *

bpp_var.h: dev_info_t *dip; /* Opaque devinfo
info. */
dacf.h:dev_info_t *dacf_devinfo_node(dacf_infohdl_t);
ddi_impldefs.h: kmutex_t devi_lock; /* Protects per-devinfo data
*/
ddi_impldefs.h:/* devinfo node needs inital driver binding */
ddi_impldefs.h: * It then gets attached to the devinfo node as a property.
ddi_impldefs.h: dev_info_t *dip; /* pointer to devinfo node
*/
devinfo_impl.h: * This file is separate from libdevinfo.h because the
devinfo driver
devinfo_impl.h:/* ioctl commands for devinfo driver */
devinfo_impl.h: * devinfo driver snapshot data structure
devinfo_impl.h: di_off_t top_devinfo;
