- The IRIX Device Driver Programming Guide explains how to write software
- character device drivers for Silicon Graphics workstations and servers.
- Device drivers establish communication from a user process to a peripheral
- device. The IRIX Device Driver Reference Pages manual contains reference
- pages (man pages) for functions and data structures that are used to
- develop device drivers. These manuals apply to IRIX Releases 5.0 and
- later.
