字符设备驱动

在Linux内核中使用cdev结构体来描述字符设备，通过其成员dev_t来定义设备号（分为主、次设备号）以确定字符设备的唯一性。通过其成员file_operations来定义字符设备驱动提供给VFS的接口函数，如常见的open()、read()、write()等。

在Linux字符设备驱动中，模块加载函数通过register_chrdev_region( ) 或alloc_chrdev_region( )来静态或者动态获取设备号，通过cdev_init( )建立cdev与file_operations之间的连接，通过cdev_add( )向系统添加一个cdev以完成注册。模块卸载函数通过cdev_del( )来注销cdev，通过unregister_chrdev_region( )来释放设备号。

用户空间访问该设备的程序通过Linux系统调用，如open( )、read( )、write( )，来“调用”file_operations来定义字符设备驱动提供给VFS的接口函数。

详尽实现代码如下：
