Device Driver

The device driver files are in $COMMON/reflmem/driver. A script entitled install_reflmem is provided to properly install the device driver and create the device node in the filesystem. The script may also be used to uninstall the driver by providing the -u command-line switch. This procedure requires superuser privileges.

When the driver is loaded, the contents of the reflective memory card on the other end of the link are automatically copied into the local card. Thus programs may safely assume that the contents of their local reflective memory cards are consistent with those on the other end of the link, even immediately after a reboot.
