A '''Memory Technology Device''' (MTD) is a type of [[device file system#Devices|device file]] in [[Linux]] for interacting with [[flash memory]]. The MTD subsystem was created to provide an [[abstraction layer]] between the hardware-specific device drivers and higher-level applications. Although character and block device files already existed, their semantics don't map well to the way that flash memory devices operate.
