Is this a troll?

The obvious answer is to ask the question on the fbsd mail lists. Those 
friendly bsd folks will help out.

Most of us try to discuss debian linux in this list.

   There is a book "Linux Device Drivers" ( or a similar name) by
Alexandro Rubini published by O'Reilly.It is a bit costly (by indian
standards,so I do not have it).I don't know whether it contains anything
on fbsd.

writing device drivers for fbsd

1999-03-08 Thread Wayne Cuddy 
What is a good reference to learn to to write device drivers for fbsd?  I
remember some recommended a good book a few months ago but forgot to save the
message.

I saw "Writing Unix Device Drivers" by George Pajari, this weekend at the 
store,is this a good book?  Where would I look in the kernel source to find out 
that functions the kernel exports for driver usage and driver interfaces?


Thanks,
Wayne
