Driver programming definition

Hi All,



I think that when somebody is programming "driver" that means:



He/She is providing function(s) call(s) for upper layer programmer use.



am I right?

What were the other answer options?

In everyone's mind, please just share yours, thank you so much!

Best regards, Boki.

No, not really, or not particularly.

A driver is an implementation of some standard programming interface (API) that masks or bridges the differences between the underlying resources (usually hardware, and usually as a plug-in to an operating system, but not always).

Not a bad comment!
