Just look at the "dev" file in sysfs, which shows the major:minor
number.
Then to find the match for a given device node you need to enumerate /sys.
And to find a match for a given /sys device you need to enumerate
/dev, or some its subdirectories (/dev/{snd,input,...), or whatever
other random places people have decided to place their device nodes.
Or just look at the directory that you are in, and that's almost always
the /dev node name.
For example, /sys/block/sda/sda1/ is /dev/sda1.
/sys/class/tty/ttyS1 is /dev/ttyS1.
Yeah, and /sys/block/sr0 is /dev/scd0 (FC5 default udev rules).
It's usually not that difficult to do the mapping :)
Hmm, "usually"...
Coming to think of it, to solve the dev->sys direction, maybe we
should have symlinks like the following?
/sys/dev/8/0 -> /sys/block/sda
/sys/dev/11/0 -> /sys/block/sr0
/sys/dev/116/24 -> /sys/class/sound/pcmC0D0c
Put otherwise:
Q:Quick, which io scheduler is used by /dev/scd0?
A: cat /sys/dev/$((0x`stat -c%t /dev/scd0`))/\
$((0x`stat -c%T /dev/scd0`))/queue/scheduler
(Please excuse the ugly hex to dec conversion.)
