What do you see when you run 'more /proc/devices'?

Less usefully, since it duplicates 'ls -lR /dev', what do you see when
you 'ls -l /dev/block /sys/dev/char' or 'ls -l /dev/block /dev/char'?

I ask rather than state because I have not been following the variances
among Linux distributions.  In particular, /dev/block and /dev/char may
only exist on Debian variants, or maybe even only on Ubuntu.
