<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This should be a basic question.</div>
<div>Does the regisetr_chrdev function make the device file under /dev directory?</div>
<div>I am running linux on our embedded system and inside vcs_init, register_chrdev is called as below.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>int __init vcs_init(void)<br>
{<br>
unsigned int i;</div>
<div> if (register_chrdev(VCS_MAJOR, "vcs", &vcs_fops))<br>
panic("unable to get major %d for vcs device", VCS_MAJOR);<br>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can see the function is returning ok but I don't see any vcs* file under /dev.</div>
<div>Does it only register the device on /sys or /proc directory and not under /dev?</div>
<div>Thanks in advance.</div>
