No, ick, why would you want that? Just look at the "dev" file in sysfs, which shows the major:minor number. Or just look at the directory that you are in, and that's almost always the /dev node name. For example, /sys/block/sda/sda1/ is /dev/sda1. /sys/class/tty/ttyS1 is /dev/ttyS1. It's usually not that difficult to do the mapping :) thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
