Serial port naming conventions
By default, each port is associated with three entries under the /dev directory.
Two take the form /dev/comf
xy
and /dev/term/comf
xy
where
x
is the card number (1-4) and
y
is a lower case letter in the range a-p. a is port 1, ..., p is port 16. These device names are
intended for local devices.
The third device name takes the form /dev/cua/comf
xy
where
x
is the card number and
y
is a
lower case letter in the range a-p, as before. These devices are intended for use with
modems.
These mappings can be altered by careful modification of the
mkdev
and
startcomf
scripts
in /usr/lib/comf/i86.
