NAME
  intro - Introduction to special files

DESCRIPTION
  Section 7 describes the special files, related driver functions, and
  networking support available in the system. In this section of the
  reference pages, the SYNOPSIS heading of each configurable device gives a
  sample specification for use in constructing a system description for the
  config program.  The DIAGNOSTICS heading lists messages that may appear on
  the console and in the system error log file
  /usr/adm/syserr/syserr.hostname due to errors in device operation.

  Software support for configurable devices comes in two forms. A hardware
  device may be supported with a character or block device driver or, if used
  within the networking subsystem, may be supported with a network interface
  driver.

  There are some devices that have fixed input/output space CSR addresses and
  interrupt vector addresses. There are no address switches or jumpers that
  need to be set up by the customer or Field Service.

  Some reference pages in this section may contain suffixes to allow their
  files to exist with those of other reference pages having the same base
  name and section number. When used, suffixes are made up of one to four
  letters.  See the man(1) reference page for more information on suffixes.
