1What: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
2Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
3Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
4Description:
5 /dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
6 access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
7 to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
8 of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much
9 of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
10 Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
11 firewire-core.
