Which /dev/ device is my piece of hardware associated with?

Submitted by Julius on Fri, 2005-12-30 17:29

Hi,

I plugged in my USB camera the other day and on a hunch figured it would be associated with /dev/video0 (or something close to it). I got lucky. Is there a place I can go to to see a list of devices and associated so I don't have to be so lucky?

Thanks for the help.
