I'm working on /proc/devices, but upon comparing to Linux[1], I noticed some differences in character device numbering:
* /dev/tty Linux is 5,0, Cygwin is 3,0 * /dev/tty[N] Linux is 4,[N], Cygwin 136,N (major 136 is /dev/pts/N on Linux) * /dev/console Linux is 5,1, Cygwin is 3,0 (same as /dev/tty !) * /dev/ttyS[N] Linux is 4,[N+64], Cygwin is 117,[N] Why these differences?
