Naming Conventions
Some persistent special files follow a
class
instance naming convention, where class is the driver class,
and instance is the instance number assigned by the operating system to the device (see ioscan(1M)).
Some legacy special files are named using the
ccardttargetddevice naming convention. These variables
have the following meaning wherever they are used.
card The unique interface card identification number from
ioscan (see ioscan(1M)). It is
represented as a decimal number.
target The device target number, for example the address on a HP-FL or SCSI bus. It is
represented as a decimal number with a typical range of 0 to 15.
device A address unit within a device, for example, the unit in a HP-FL device or the LUN in a
SCSI device. It is represented as a decimal number with a typical range of 0 to 15.
