## Device Information

This page displays information about the available devices.

The exact information displayed is system-dependent. On some systems, device information cannot be displayed yet.

On &Linux;, this information is read from `/proc/devices` and `/proc/misc`, which are only available if the `/proc` pseudo-filesystem is compiled into the kernel. Devices are listed by group (Character, Block, or Miscellaneous). The device major number is listed, followed by an identifying label.

The user cannot modify any settings on this page.
