Subject: bluez and rfcomm

Hello,

I was wondering if the /dev/rfcommX device nodes are handled directly
by the kernel module (bluez) itself or by a userspace program?

(its not possible for anything userspace to put something in /dev is
it?)


thanks
David

Not without kernel help. Even PTYs are done with kernel help.
