Device Driver Documentation
Documentation to aid programmers in writing device drivers for Tru64
UNIX is packaged in a separately orderable Device Driver Kit (DDK). This
documentation was produced by Compaq writers working closely with the
device driver developers.
This kit (Version 2.0, part number QA-6ADAV-A8) contains a CD-ROM that
includes the Tru64 UNIX Device Driver sample drivers, driver development
tool (code template generator), documentation in HTML and PDF formats,
and printed installation instructions and release notes.
You can obtain printed copies of the documentation by ordering the Tru64
UNIX Device Driver Documentation Kit (part number QA-6ADAV-GZ).
The rest of this section describes the books in the DDK. This information is
provided here because of the close relationship between the device driver
documentation and the Tru64 UNIX documentation set.
______________________ Note _______________________
The Device Driver Kit is produced independently of the Tru64
UNIX operating system. The following descriptions are for
Version 2 (December 2000) of the Device Driver Kit, which
supports Tru64 UNIX Version V5.0A and higher. For information
about this kit, visit the following Web site:

Writing Device Drivers
This manual contains information that systems engineers need when
writing a device driver for hardware that runs on the Tru64 UNIX operating
system. This manual replaces the manual Writing Device Drivers: Tutorial.
It includes the chapter on funnels and the chapter on how to write disk
device drivers that were previously part of manual named Writing Device
Drivers: Advanced Topics.
This manual also provides a glossary of device driver terms.
