I want to port a device driver from INTERACTIVE to BSD/386.

The driver from INTERACTIVE uses the 'u.' structure like u.u_count,u.u_base,
u.u_offset ... .
BSD/386 uses the 'uio' structure.
I couldn't find any book which describes this 'uio' structure.
Can anybody suggest me some books which describe this structure and which
describe how to write device drivers for BSD/386 or how to port device drivers
from INTERACTIVE to BSD.

Thank you for your answer!

I havn't yet a mail access. Please post the answer under 'BSD/386 driver'
in the 'com.unix.bsd' group.
