Re: what is the precise udev event that handles miscdevices?

don't get smug. :-) i had sort of concluded there was no actual udev rule i could point at, so it's just the case that udev processes those events internally? is this written down anywhere? everyone happily explains how misc devices get their /dev file automatically, but no one i've seen goes that extra step to explain how that happens.

misc_register() is ultimately calling device_add() which is again calling device_create_file() , and this one is actually creating the node in /dev . (if i am not wrong). regards sudip
