"Can you explain what differentiates character device drivers from block device drivers in Linux, and provide examples of devices each type would manage?"
Char drivers are byte oriented where communcation takes place using a byte rather than a bulk of size more than n bytes in a block device driver. Bulk data transfer takes place simultaneously b/w system and device.
Character device driver is an umbrella term for a bucket of large no of byte oriented device drivers. It can be audio, video, terminal, keyboard, mouse, null device or any other driver that relates to non block and non network data transfer. Block driver relates to hard disk, usb storage, ram memory etc.
