Operating Systems AIX Difference between /dev/hdisk and /dev/rhdisk Post 302825049 by bakunin on Sunday 23rd of June 2013 04:08:51 AM

The question can easily be answered with a 5-second google search for "AIX rhdisk hdisk". I suggest you read the first hit coming up on this search:

IBMs documentation.

Even without searching for anything your directory listing shows one to be a character-device and the other to be a block device.

For the future i suggest using google first and us second.

I hope this helps.

NAME
dwww - access documentation via WWW SYNOPSIS
http://localhost/dwww/index.html dwww dwww program-name | package-name DESCRIPTION
A typical Linux system has documentation in many formats (manual pages, info files, READMEs, and so on). dwww makes it possible to access all of these via the same interface, a WWW browser. This makes it easier to use the documentation. To use dwww, load the URL given in the SYNOPSIS. If you have a web browser installed, you can also just run the dwww command which loads the URL. If BROWSER environment variable is set, dwww uses sensible-browser(1) to load the URL. Otherwise, dwww first tries to use browser specified by DWWW_BROWSER or DWWW_X11_BROWSER configuration variable (cf. dwww(7)), than will use sensible-browser(1) command. If optional argument program-name or package-name is specified, dwww will search all documentation related to given program or package. ENVIRONMENT
BROWSER Program used to load the above mentioned URL. FILES
/etc/dwww/dwww.conf Configuration file for dwww. SEE ALSO
