39.Sh NAME
40.Nm intro
41.Nd introduction to hpcsh special files and hardware support
42.\"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44.\"
45This section describes the special files, related driver functions,
46and networking support
47available in the system.
48In this part of the manual, the
49.Tn SYNOPSIS
50section of
51each configurable device gives a sample specification
52for use in constructing a system description for the
53.Xr config 8
54program.
55The
56.Tn DIAGNOSTICS
57section lists messages which may appear on the console
58and/or in the system error log
59.Pa /var/log/messages
60due to errors in device operation;
61see
62.Xr syslogd 8
63for more information.
64.Pp
65This section contains both devices
66which may be configured into the system
67and network related information.
68The networking support is introduced in
69.Xr netintro 4 .
70.\"
71.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT
72.\"
73This section describes the hardware supported on the hpcsh
74platform.
75Software support for these devices comes in two forms.  A hardware
76device may be supported with a character or block
77.Em device driver ,
78or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a
79.Em network interface driver .
80Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file
81system of a special type; see
82.Xr mknod 8 .
83Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess
84communication facilities provided by the system; see
85.Xr socket 2 .
86.Pp
87A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time
88and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled
89into the system.  When the resultant system is booted, the
90autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device
91and, if found, enable the software support for it.
92If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration
93time it is not accessible at any time afterwards.
94To enable a device which did not autoconfigure,
95the system must be rebooted.
96.Pp
97The autoconfiguration system is described in
98.Xr autoconf 4 .
99A list of the supported devices is given below.
