利用udev在/dev下动态生成/移除设备文件

利用udev在/dev下动态生成/移除设备文件

用udev在/dev/下动态生成设备文件，这样用户就不用手工调用mknod了。


利用的kernel API：
   
    class_create        :    创建class
    class_destroy        :    销毁class
    class_device_create    :    创建device
    class_device_destroy    :    销毁device


注意，这些API是2.6.13开始有的，在2.6.13之前，应当使用

class_simple_create
class_simple_destroy
class_simple_device_add
class_simple_device_remove

这一系列，也就是ldd3第14章描述的。 详见:
