Thanks but am already studying from this book. What  I understand from this is every driver is associated with a device and each of this relation has a unique major number associated with it and every device has a unique minor number which a kernel uses to reference it. Am I correct ?

Am a little stuck at major and minor numbers used to reference the connection between device file and device driver. Can please somebody theoretically explain how they work ?
