-Author: Julian Elischer

-The files in this directory are shell scripts.
-
-They will, when run, create an example skeleton driver
-for you. You can use this driver as a starting point for
-writing drivers for your own devices. They have all the hooks needed
-for initialization, probing, attaching, as well as DEVFS
-node creation. They also create sample ioctl commands and a sample
-ioctl definition .h file in /sys/sys. In other words they are fully
-functional in a 'skeleton' sort of a way. They support multiple devices
-so that you may have several of your 'foobar' devices probed and attached
-at once.
-
-I expect that these scripts will improve with time.
-
-At present these scripts also link the newly created driver into
-the kernel sources in /sys. Possibly a better way would be
-to make them interactive. (and ask what kernel tree to use as well as
-a name for the driver.).
-
-There are presently two scripts.
-One for making a real device driver for ISA devices, and 
-one for making a device driver for pseudo devices (e.g. /dev/null).
-Hopefully they will be joined by similar scripts for creating
-skeletons for PCI devices as well.
-
-Give them a single argument: the name of the driver.
-They will use this given name in many places within the driver,
-both in lower and upper case form.  (conforming to normal usage).
-
-The skeleton driver should already link with the kernel 
-and in fact the shell script will compile a kernel with the new 
-drive linked in..  The new kernel should still be 
-runnable and the new driver should be
-fully callable (once you get your device to probe).
-You should simply edit the driver and continue to use
-'make' (as done in the script) until your driver does what you want.
-
-The driver will end up in /sys/i386/isa for the device driver script,
-and in /sys/dev for the pseudo driver script.
