Using Device Files

Device files are special files that tell your system which pathway through
the system hardware to use when communicating with a specific device.
Device files also describe the type of device. You will need to know the
special device file associated with your floppy disk drive so that you can
write data to it or read data from it.
NOTE The device file names depend on the naming conventions of your
particular system.
