.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
family of functions take either the raw device ID,
|
|
.Fa id ,
|
|
or a pointer to the device structure,
|
|
.Fa dev ,
|
|
and return the integer
|
|
value that is the major or minor device ID as requested.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The actual major and minor device IDs are values masked from of the raw device ID.
|
|
For details on the actual calculations used to determine the major or minor IDs see
|
|
the actual source in
|
|
.Pa kern_conf.c .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
An integer greater than zero and less than
|
|
.Dv NUMCDEVSW .
|
|
.Fn major
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn minor
|
