Hi all,

I read about inode structure that it always point to
data blocks for that file. but in case of character
device files created with mknod command doesn't have
any data block associated with it. so how kernel
understands by using major and minor number a
perticular device file.
and for character device file what is the structure of
inode ?

please help me.

thanks in advanse.

Deepak Joshi.
