Creating special device names
QNX SDP8.0System ArchitectureDeveloperUser
You can also use procmgr symlinks to create special device names.
For example, if your modem was on
/dev/ser1, you could create a procmgr symlink
/dev/modem as follows:
ln -Ps /dev/ser1 /dev/modem
Any request to open /dev/modem is replaced with /dev/ser1. This mapping would allow the modem to be changed to a different serial port without affecting any applications by simply changing the procmgr symlink.
