A hardware 3920672Smckusickdevice may be supported with a character or block 4047674Scael.Em device driver , 4120672Smckusickor it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a 4247674Scael.Em network interface driver . 4320672SmckusickBlock and character devices are accessed through files in the file 4447674Scaelsystem of a special type; see 4547674Scael.Xr physio 4 4647674Scaeland 4747674Scael.Xr mknod 8 . 4820672SmckusickNetwork interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess 4920672Smckusickcommunication facilities provided by the system; see 5047674Scael.Xr socket 2 . 5147674Scael.Pp 5220672SmckusickA hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time 5320672Smckusickand the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled 5420672Smckusickinto the system.
