devfs_mk_cdev question

[Paul Akkermans]

Hi group,   Can anybody tell me what happens in this piece of code:   mousedev_table[minor] = mousedev;    devfs_mk_cdev(MKDEV(INPUT_MAJOR, MOUSEDEV_MINOR_BASE + minor),    S_IFCHR|S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR, "input/mouse%d", minor);  class_simple_device_add(input_class,     MKDEV(INPUT_MAJOR, MOUSEDEV_MINOR_BASE + minor),     dev->dev, "mouse%d", minor);   I am especially interested in devfs_mk_cdev and what is means.   Can anybody help me?   Thanks in advance,   PA
