The reason I am interested in doing this is because I am creating a device in the /dev directory. Under Tiger this works fine, but in Leopard my device name is truncated at the / using the devfs_make_node function. Calling devfs_make_node with the path "direct/file" results in the node "/dev/direc/file" being created on Leopard and "/dev/direct/file" on Tiger. I would then like to check for the existence of /dev/direct so that I know If I have to code for a work around in my driver. The open or stat call does not seem to be available to my kernel extension.
