This makes it easier to automatically generate parts of the manager
documentation in the future.

+
+Device Driver Table
+-------------------
+
+Each application utilizing the RTEMS I/O manager must specify the address of a
+Device Driver Table in its Configuration Table. This table contains each device
+driver's entry points that is to be initialised by RTEMS during initialization.
+Each device driver may contain the following entry points:
+
+- Initialization
+
+- Open
+
+- Close
+
+- Read
+
+- Write
+
+- Control
+
+If the device driver does not support a particular entry point, then that entry
+in the Configuration Table should be NULL. RTEMS will return
+``RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`` as the executive's and zero (0) as the device driver's
+return code for these device driver entry points.
+
+Applications can register and unregister drivers with the RTEMS I/O manager
+avoiding the need to have all drivers statically defined and linked into this
+table.
+
+The :file:`confdefs.h` entry ``CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_DRIVERS`` configures the
+number of driver slots available to the application.
+
+.. index:: major device number
+.. index:: minor device number
+
+Major and Minor Device Numbers
+------------------------------
+
+Each call to the I/O manager must provide a device's major and minor numbers as
+arguments. The major number is the index of the requested driver's entry
+points in the Device Driver Table, and is used to select a specific device
+driver. The exact usage of the minor number is driver specific, but is
+commonly used to distinguish between a number of devices controlled by the same
+driver.
+
+.. index:: rtems_device_major_number
+.. index:: rtems_device_minor_number
+
+The data types ``rtems_device_major_number`` and ``rtems_device_minor_number``
+are used to manipulate device major and minor numbers, respectively.
+
+.. index:: device names
+
+Device Names
+------------
+
+The I/O Manager provides facilities to associate a name with a particular
+device. Directives are provided to register the name of a device and to look
+up the major/minor number pair associated with a device name.
+
+Device Driver Environment
+-------------------------
+
+Application developers, as well as device driver developers, must be aware of
+the following regarding the RTEMS I/O Manager:
+
+- A device driver routine executes in the context of the invoking task. Thus
+ if the driver blocks, the invoking task blocks.
+
+- The device driver is free to change the modes of the invoking task, although
+ the driver should restore them to their original values.
+
+- Device drivers may be invoked from ISRs.
+
+- Only local device drivers are accessible through the I/O manager.
+
+- A device driver routine may invoke all other RTEMS directives, including I/O
+ directives, on both local and global objects.
+
+Although the RTEMS I/O manager provides a framework for device drivers, it
+makes no assumptions regarding the construction or operation of a device
+driver.
+
+.. index:: runtime driver registration
+
+Runtime Driver Registration
+---------------------------
+
+Board support package and application developers can select wether a device
+driver is statically entered into the default device table or registered at
+runtime.
+
+Dynamic registration helps applications where:
+
+- The BSP and kernel libraries are common to a range of applications for a
+ specific target platform. An application may be built upon a common library
+ with all drivers. The application selects and registers the drivers. Uniform
+ driver name lookup protects the application.
+
+- The type and range of drivers may vary as the application probes a bus during
+ initialization.
+
+- Support for hot swap bus system such as Compact PCI.
+
+- Support for runtime loadable driver modules.
+
+.. index:: device driver interface
+
+Device Driver Interface
+-----------------------
+
+When an application invokes an I/O manager directive, RTEMS determines which
+device driver entry point must be invoked. The information passed by the
+application to RTEMS is then passed to the correct device driver entry point.
+RTEMS will invoke each device driver entry point assuming it is compatible with
+the following prototype:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ rtems_device_driver io_entry(
+ rtems_device_major_number major,
+ rtems_device_minor_number minor,
+ void *argument_block
+ );
+
+The format and contents of the parameter block are device driver and entry
+point dependent.
+
+It is recommended that a device driver avoid generating error codes which
+conflict with those used by application components. A common technique used to
+generate driver specific error codes is to make the most significant part of
+the status indicate a driver specific code.
+
+Device Driver Initialization
+----------------------------
+
+RTEMS automatically initializes all device drivers when multitasking is
+initiated via the ``rtems_initialize_executive`` directive. RTEMS initializes
+the device drivers by invoking each device driver initialization entry point
+with the following parameters:
+
+``major``
+ the major device number for this device driver.
+
+``minor``
+ zero.
+
+``argument_block``
+ will point to the Configuration Table.
+
+The returned status will be ignored by RTEMS. If the driver cannot
+successfully initialize the device, then it should invoke the
+fatal_error_occurred directive.

-- rtems_io_register_driver_ - Register a device driver
-
-- rtems_io_unregister_driver_ - Unregister a device driver
-
-- rtems_io_register_name_ - Register a device name
-

-
-- rtems_io_close_ - Close a device
-
