    Hello,

    I'm a student from Holland and have received the following assignment:
    Write a paper about the Linux Terminaldriver. Explain how it handles
    all the interrupts, how the datastructure looks, what the functionality
    of its parts is, etcetera, etcetera.

    The problem is, we can't get a clear overview of all the needed source files.
    We've found /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/tty_io.c but that's probably not
    the only one, and we cannot figure it out. It's a little bit fuzzy, for
    starters like me.

    If you can help me just a little bit, I would appreciate it! Any help,
    whatsoever, is good!

    Thanks anyway,

    Nils Appeldoorn
