Is it possible to send and receive a data-stream to a firewire device (specifically a cam-corder) at the Unix level? I sort of expected that when I plug in the camera, it would map to a /dev entry, but I couldn't figure it out.
Seperate question: How does one do this with Cocoa?
Thanks!

OS X has a different driver architecture to other systems, called IOKit. In general, things don't show up in /dev. You'd probably have to write an IOKit kext in order to do that, but there is some sample code in Darwin at least

Using the IOKit userspace client AP, methinks.
