What: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
|
|
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
|
|
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
|
|
Description:
|
|
/dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
|
|
access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
|
|
to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
|
|
of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
|
|
of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
|
|
Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
|
|
firewire-core.

libraw1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI

|
users)
