devices, devid_cache, snapshot_cache, mdi_scsi_vhci_cache, mdi_ib_cache, devname_cache - device configuration information
SYNOPSIS
/etc/devices
/etc/devices/devid_cache
/etc/devices/snapshot_cache
/etc/devices/mdi_scsi_vhci_cache
/etc/devices/mdi_ib_cache
/etc/devices/devname_cache
DESCRIPTION
The directory /etc/devices is a repository of device-related data. Files in this directory are used to preserve this information across
reboots and are created and updated as necessary by the system.
There are no administrative actions necessary with respect to files in /etc/devices. Should the contents of a file become corrupted or an
update fail, the file can simply be removed. The system re-creates the file as necessary.

Files in this directory do not constitute an API. Files might not exist or might have a different content or interpretation in a future
release. The existence of this notice does not imply that any other documentation that lacks this notice constitutes an API.

devfs - Devices file system
DESCRIPTION
The devfs filesystem manages a name space of all devices under the Solaris operating environment and is mounted during boot on the /devices
name space.
The /devices name space is dynamic and reflects the current state of accessible devices under the Solaris operating environment. The names
of all attached device instances are present under /devices.
The content under /devices is under the exclusive control of the devfs filesystem and cannot be changed.
The system may be configured to include a device in one of two ways:
By means of dynamic reconfiguration (DR), using, for example, cfgadm(1M).
For devices driven by driver.conf(4) enumeration, edit the driver.conf file to add a new entry, then use update_drv(1M) to cause
the system to re-read the driver.conf file and thereby enumerate the instance.
The device may be attached through a number of system calls and programs, including open(2), stat(2) and ls(1). During device attach, the
device driver typically creates minor nodes corresponding to the device via ddi_create_minor_node(9F). If the attach is successful, one or
more minor nodes referring to the device are created under /devices.
Operations like mknod(2), mkdir(2) and creat(2) are not supported in /devices.
FILES
/devices Mount point for devfs file system
SEE ALSO devfsadm(1M), vfstab(4), attach(9E)NOTES
The /devices name space cannot be unmounted.
All content at or below the /devices name space is an implementation artifact and subject to incompatible change or removal without notifi-
cation.

Hi All,
I'm a rookie using HPUX and I know this is going to sound like a bonehead question, but when I list the contents of a directory, how can I determine which objects are files and which are folders? I'm using the ll and ls commands to lists the contents. So far I've been determining the... (6 Replies)
