What is the proper (documented, recommended, whatever) method for a userspace application to check if the /dev filesystem is coming from devfs or not? I am modifying a tunneling application to use new-style /dev paths if devfs is in use, but it needs to know... Right now I'm just relying on a stat() of /dev/.devfsd returning without an error if devfs is mounted on /dev, but that may not be optimal (or future-proof). Any other suggestions? |
