  14. I am on a machine (Sun workstation) that has a few devices attached to it 
  15. physically. I know that there are links to them somewhere in the /dev
  16. directory.
  17.  
  18. what I want to know: is there an utility that can scan /dev and report what
  19. devices are active and what are their paths?
