See linux/drivers/char/mem.c, look for null_fops.

/dev/null implementation question

2007-03-08 Thread Michael Nitschinger
Hello,

I asked myself how /dev/null is implemented in C, but i didn't find anything in 
the documentation or generally on the internet. It would be great if someone 
could tell me where i can find the source for this device or how it is 
implemented, because it's really hard for me to crawl through the whole 
sourcetree.

thanks in advance, kind regards
Michael Nitschinger
