Character device
Character and block device files allow users and programs to communicate with hardware peripheral devices.
For example:
| $ ls -ld /dev/vmmon crw------- 1 root root 10, 165 Jan 4 10:13 /dev/vmmon |
In this case the character device is the vmware module device.
Block Device
Block devices are similar to character devices. They mostly govern hardware as hard drives, memory, etc.
| $ ls -ld /dev/sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jan 4 10:12 /dev/sda |
