Drivers are known to be programs that are required for the proper functioning of any operating system, since without them such a device would not be able to communicate with other physical devices.
As many of you know, the functions we perform with the software costs. they are entirely performed within the hardware. However, for this to happen, the system must maintain near-continuous communication with each of these devices.
This is where the drivers come into action, as they have the task of setting in motion said communication between the operating system and those components necessary to complete that action. Functions that are performed with a physical component must also establish direct communication with the entire system and this will be done via the driver.
