  device_info

AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION

  The C source codes in this archive show how to find out information
  about a device just by the name it is mounted with.

  You can use it for increase the usability of your programs. For
  example, don't expect the user to enter DEVICE="scsi.device" and
  UNIT=3, but instead let him simply specify DRIVE=CD0:. The latter
  one will even work if the user switched to a new SCSI-controller.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

  You need a C compiler to compile the sources. For SAS/c and GCC,
  ready made Makefiles are already included. As the code does not use
  any special features, compiling it with others should be strait
  forward.
