.DRV File

The drv file extension is traditionally used for for device drivers in Windows environment. A device driver, or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a device.

A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware is connected. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface.

Files with drv file extension are commonly found as device drives, especially in older versions of Windows operating system. Used for system purposes.
