The d\bde\bev\bvn\bna\bam\bme\be() function returns a pointer to the name of the block or
character device in ``_\b/_\bd_\be_\bv'' with a device number of _\bd_\be_\bv, and a file type
matching the one encoded in _\bt_\by_\bp_\be which must be one of S_IFBLK or S_IFCHR.
If no device matches the specified values, or no information is avail-
able, the string ``??'' is returned.
