See http://stm.lbl.gov/comedi. Minors 48 to 255 are reserved for comedi subdevices with
pathnames of the form "/dev/comediX_subdY", where "X" is the
minor number of the associated comedi device and "Y" is the
subdevice number. These subdevice minors are assigned
dynamically, so there is no fixed mapping from subdevice
pathnames to minor numbers.
See http://www.comedi.org/ for information about the Comedi
project.
