Описание (Description)
/dev/mem is a character device file that is an image of the main
memory of the computer. It may be used, for example, to examine
(and even patch) the system.
Byte addresses in /dev/mem are interpreted as physical memory
addresses. References to nonexistent locations cause errors to
be returned.
Examining and patching is likely to lead to unexpected results
when read-only or write-only bits are present.
Since Linux 2.6.26, and depending on the architecture, the
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM kernel configuration option limits the areas
which can be accessed through this file. For example: on x86,
RAM access is not allowed but accessing memory-mapped PCI regions
is.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/mem c 1 1
chown root:kmem /dev/mem
The file /dev/kmem is the same as /dev/mem, except that the
kernel virtual memory rather than physical memory is accessed.
Since Linux 2.6.26, this file is available only if the
CONFIG_DEVKMEM kernel configuration option is enabled.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 640 /dev/kmem c 1 2
chown root:kmem /dev/kmem
/dev/port is similar to /dev/mem, but the I/O ports are accessed.
It is typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/port c 1 4
chown root:kmem /dev/port
