Driver information technology is a term that refers to the software component that allows a computer system to communicate with a hardware device. Keep in mind that most of the hardware, will not be able to run or not at all able to walk without a suitable driver that is installed in the operating system. Device drivers, generally will be loaded into kernel space (kernelspace) operating system during the boot process is done, or on demand (when no user intervention or insert a device plug-and-play). Some operating systems also offers device drivers that run in user space (userspace) operating system. Some drivers have been incorporated into the operating system by default during installation, but a lot of hardware, especially new ones, can not be supported by the drivers default operating system. Is a task that the user must supply and insert the driver into the operating system. Drivers also generally provides a hardware interrupt handling required by the hardware.
Note also the computer hardware generally requires abstraction. The same device may be different. Hardware manufacturers release new models that provide better reliability or higher performance. The new models are often controlled differently than the previous model. Computers and computer operating systems can not be expected to know how these devices work, especially if there are many devices, be it for now and for the foreseeable future.
To solve a problem like this, the operating system also makes a specification of how each device can be set by the operating system. Device drivers, created with the aim to translate the functions of the operating system into commands that are owned by the device in question. Theoretically, a new device, which is generally controlled using a new way to work normally if there is a suitable device driver. This new driver will ensure that the device in question can operate as normal from the viewpoint of the operating system.
