These are not regular files; they're device files. So you aren't seeing a size -- you're seeing a major and a minor number. (E.g., "/dev/audio" has a major number of 14 and a minor number of 4.) These numbers are used internally by the kernel. The 'c' in the first column means that this is a character device file (as opposed to a 'b'lock device file). -- Greg Wooledge | Distributed.NET http://www.distributed.net/ wooledge@kellnet.com | because a CPU is a terrible thing to waste. http://www.kellnet.com/wooledge/ |
