Virtual Device Drivers

Virtual Device Drivers (VDDs) are software components that emulate hardware devices within a computer system. They act as intermediaries between the operating system and virtual devices, enabling the OS to communicate with hardware that exists only in software form. This allows for functionalities like virtual printers, network interfaces, or storage devices without needing physical hardware. VDDs provide the necessary controls and interfaces to ensure these virtual devices operate seamlessly as if they were real hardware, facilitating virtualization and efficient resource management within the system.
