sysfs is a pseudo file system provided by the Linux kernel that exports information about various kernel subsystems, hardware devices, and associated device drivers from the kernel's device model to user space through virtual files. [1]
Since the 3.74 release, the Syslinux project hosts the Hardware Detection Tool (HDT) project, licensed under the terms of GNU GPL.This tool is a 32-bit module that displays low-level information for any IA-32–compatible system.
make menuconfig was not in the first version of Linux. The predecessor tool is a question-and-answer-based utility (make config, make oldconfig). Variations of the tool for Linux configuration include: make xconfig, which requires Qt; make gconfig, which uses GTK+; make nconfig, which is similar to make menuconfig.
The FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD and Darwin have a dedicated file system devfs; device nodes are managed automatically by this file system, in kernel space. Linux used to have a similar devfs implementation, but it was abandoned later, and then removed since version 2.6.17; [3] Linux now primarily uses a user space implementation known as udev, but ...
ANSI.SYS is a device driver in the DOS family of operating systems that provides extra console functions through ANSI escape sequences. It is partially based upon a subset of the text terminal control standard proposed by the ANSI X3L2 Technical Committee on Codes and Character Sets (the "X3 Committee").
SYS will also copy the command line shell (COMMAND.COM) into the root directory. [6] The command can be applied to hard drives and floppy disks to repair or create a boot sector. Although an article on Microsoft's website says the SYS command was introduced in MS-DOS version 2.0, [7] this is incorrect. SYS actually existed in 86-DOS 0.3 already.
In Windows XP, drivers account for 85% of the reported failures. In the Linux kernel 2.4.1 device driver code accounts for about 70% of the code size. [2] The driver fault can crash the whole system as it is running in the kernel mode. These findings resulted in various methodologies and techniques for verification of device drivers.
C:\Windows\system32\drivers C:\Windows\WinSxS. In MS-DOS, the file named MSDOS.SYS is used to copy the system files from one drive to another, allowing the second drive to be bootable. MSDOS.SYS is located in the root directory of the bootable drive/partition (normally C:\ for hard disks) and has the hidden, read-only, and system file ...
