Summary of Driver Structure

A driver consists of a binary object module in ELF format stored in the /var/sysgen/boot directory. As a program, the driver consists of a set of functional entry points that supply services to the IRIX kernel.

The entry points that a driver supports must be named according to a specified convention. The lboot command uses entry point names to build tables used by the kernel. No single driver supports all possible entry points.
