Hi,
These series of patches add a new command, devinfo(1), which aids users to quickly get details of any linux device.
I have been using this program for my own purpose for some time now and thought that it might be a useful addition.
There is room for improvements and suggestions, so please let me know.
Some examples:
$ devinfo /dev/video0
Character device: `video0' (81:0) Class: video4linux Access: crw-rw----
Name: Integrated Camera Driver: `uvcvideo'
Type: usb_interface
# devinfo /dev/sda
Block device: `sda' (8:0) Class: sd Access: brw-rw----
Fabricant: ATA HITACHI HTS54502 Driver: `sd'
Type: disk (read-write, non-removable)
Partitions (3):
#1: 468518912 Linux
#2: 19873794 Extended
#5: 19873792 Linux swap / Solaris
$ devinfo -b
DEVICE MAJOR:MINOR

ramdisk
ââram0 1:0
ââram1 1:1
ââram10 1:10
