I'm trying to identify and locate the
/dev/
pseudo-file that corresponds to the onboard, hardware GPS devices; installed in most modern Android smartphones, and tablets. I know that it probably varies sometimes, but the vast majority more than likely use a standard, logical name.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about; some examples of common, logical names for other kinds of hardware that you might recognize, are:
tty0
, mouse0
, event0
, eth0
, wlan0
, sr0
, video0
, media0
, bus0
, usb0
gps0
, disk0
, sda1
, sdb2
, sdc3
, and so on.
Most of these live inside /dev/
, and it's subdirectories; such as /dev/input/
.
