Its major drawbacks were its inability + to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level + of abstraction that required userspace clients to duplicate much + of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality. + + Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the ABI of + firewire-core. + +Users: + libraw1394 (works with firewire-cdev too, transparent to library ABI + users) -- cgit v1.2.3
