A device driver hides the peculiarities of a hardware device s communication protocols from the operating system and allows the system to interact with the device through a standardized interface. Under Linux device drivers are part of the kernel and may be either linked statically into the kernel or loaded on demand as kernel modules. Device drivers run as part of the kernel and aren t directly accessible to user processes. However Linux provides a mechanism by which processes can communicate with a device driver and through it with a hardware device via file-like objects.These objects appear in the file system and programs can open them read from them and write to them practically as if they were normal files. Using either Linux s low-level i o operations see Appendix B Low-Level I O or the standard C library s I O operations your programs can communicate with hardware devices through these file-like objects. Linux also provides several file-like objects that communicate directly with the kernel rather than with device drivers. These aren t linked to hardware devices instead they provide various kinds of specialized behavior that can be of use to application and system .
