Yes, but that's not a fundamental aspect of the concept of character device files/drivers. See, for instance, unix.stackexchange.com/a/60649/90691 | |
| Jun 22, 2020 at 11:36 | comment | added | Suraaj K S | Well, my issue was with why the book distinguishes /dev/tty0 and /dev/ttyS0. The book says that device files like the latter are "accessed by" device files such as the former. That is, device files (/dev/ttyS0) are accessed by filesystem nodes (/dev/tty0) | |
