                     21: IFCHR,  for a  character-special  device, such  as a  serial-port
                     22: driver; or to IFPIPE, for a named pipe.
                     23: 
                     24: address  is  a  parameter interpreted  by  the  driver; it  might

                     26: drive.  Note that this is not used with named pipes.
