Device Driver File
I am beginner in device driver programming.

A device driver is a small piece of software that tells the operating system and other software how to communicate with a piece of hardware. For example, printer drivers tell the operating system, and by extension whatever program you have the thing you want to print open in, exactly how to print information on the page. Try the USB Driver Update Utility. Run the USB Driver Update Utility and click the green Scan Now button. The USB Driver Update Utility will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers. Click the Update Driver button next to the USB driver. The correct version will be downloaded and installed automatically.
I don't get the difference between device drivers and device files in Linux.
Can anyone explain the difference?
The site provides links to other font foundries (the companies or individuals outside of Microsoft who create and distribute fonts) where you can find additional fonts.After you find a font that you would like to use with an Office application, you can download it and install it through the operating system that you are currently using on your computer. Some fonts on the Internet are sold commercially, some are distributed as shareware, and some are free. Microsoft script fonts free. You should go through the system's Fonts folder in Windows Control Panel and the font will work with Office automatically. Because fonts work with the operating system, they are not downloaded to Office directly.

A device driver is a piece of software that operates or controls a particular type of device. On modern, monolithic kernel operating systems these are typically part of the kernel. Many monolithic kernels, including Linux, have a modular design, allowing for executable modules to be loaded at runtime. Device drivers commonly utilize this feature, although nothing prevents the device drivers to be compiled into the kernel image.
A device file is an interface for a device driver that appears in a file system as if it were an ordinary file. In Unix-like operating systems, these are usually found under the /dev directory and are also called device nodes. A device file can represent character devices, which emit a stream data one character at a time, or block devices which allow random access to blocks of data.
Device nodes are created by the mknod system call. The kernel resource exposed by the device node is identified by a major and minor number. Typically the major number identifies the device driver and the minor number identifies a particular device the driver controls.
What the device file appears to contain depends on what the device drivers exposes through the device file. For instance, the character device file which represents the mouse, /dev/input/mice exposes the movement of the mouse as a character stream, whereas the block device file representing a hard disk, such as /dev/sda, exposes the addressable regions of memory of the device. Some devices files also take input, allowing user-space applications to communicate with the device by writing to its device file.
adding to what Thomas Nyman said,
before using any devices, it has to be mounted onto the filesystem objects, as everything in linux is a file, some of the devices internally are automatically mounted like usb, hard disk etc.
in order for the new devices to interact with system it has device driver a software program which makes use of device file.
so basically device file provides an interface to the device driver.you can write your own device driver in linux using c.
