I need help with identifying device files for my keyboard and mouse..I am trying to write a c program to retrieve access times for my keyboard and mouse and wanted to do it using the stat() system call which require the file name for each devive file...If they is a better way to do it please help with that..The reason I am asking is because the /dev drive seems to be populated with many ttyXXX files and I can't identify which is which.. The /dev/input directory also has many files and I can't seem to locate the correct one.. I am running fedora core 5, which I understand uses udev for handling device files and their naming.. The other question I wanted to ask is whether the dynamic naming of device files also applies to the keyboard and mouse, and can one handle that in a program if device file names are not kept static using the udev rules..I am not really a fan for udev rules, though I had to use them for my external NTFS harddisk and memory stick.. Thanking you in advance... ___________________________________________________________________ For super low premiums, click here http://www.webmail.co.za/dd.pwm http://www.webmail.co.za the South African FREE email service ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
