Linux Assigned Names and Numbers Authority
- Linux Assigned Names and Numbers Authority
The Linux Assigned Names and Numbers Authority is a central registry of names and numbers used within Linux. It was created in 2000 by H. Peter Anvin, and its current maintainer is Torben Mathiasen. LANANA is part of the Free Standards Group.
Registries
* Linux Device List — major and minor numbers of Linux device nodes, and their standard locations in the /dev directory
* Linux Zone Unicode Assignments — code points assigned for Linux within the Private Use Area of Unicode
* several namespace registries for the Linux Standard Base
History
The Linux Device List was created in 1992 by Rick Miller, and maintained by him until 1993. In 1995, it was adopted by H. Peter Anvin. In 2000, he created LANANA to maintain the list and other similar lists in the future. The name of the registry was a playful reference to IANA, central registry of names and numbers used in the Internet.
In 2002, LANANA became an official workgroup of the Free Standards Group.
