lofi@0 ??
Hi all,

what does this mean?

if [-b /devices/pseudo/lofi@0:$devid]
then
<something>
fi

here is what i know..
it checks if the specified argument no($devid) in some function call is made into a block device and then proceeds with the execution of the loop.

However am not understand what lofi@0:means?
also is there any book or online data sheets where i can learn of such intricate issues?
