1*4882a593SmuzhiyunWhat: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire) 2*4882a593SmuzhiyunDate: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37 3*4882a593SmuzhiyunContact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net 4*4882a593SmuzhiyunDescription: 5*4882a593Smuzhiyun /dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level 6*4882a593Smuzhiyun access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability 7*4882a593Smuzhiyun to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level 8*4882a593Smuzhiyun of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much 9*4882a593Smuzhiyun of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality. 10*4882a593Smuzhiyun 11*4882a593Smuzhiyun Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of 12*4882a593Smuzhiyun firewire-core. 13*4882a593Smuzhiyun 14*4882a593SmuzhiyunUsers: 15*4882a593Smuzhiyun libraw1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI 16*4882a593Smuzhiyun users) 17
