Device Drivers
Operating system is responsible for managing device communication through their respective drivers. As we know that the operating system will have many devices like the mouse, printer, and scanner and operating system is responsible for managing these devices and establishing the communication between these devices with the computer through their respective drivers. So operating system uses its respective drivers each and every device will have its own driver. Without the use of their respective driver, that device cannot make communication with other systems.
Device Management in Operating System
The process of implementation, operation, and maintenance of a device by an operating system is called device management. When we use computers we will have various devices connected to our system like mouse, keyboard, scanner, printer, and pen drives. So all these are the devices and the operating system acts as an interface that allows the users to communicate with these devices. An operating system is responsible for successfully establishing the connection between these devices and the system. The operating system uses the concept of drivers to establish a connection between these devices with the system.
