This manual page documents the GNU version of mmkknnoodd.
mmkknnoodd creates a FIFO, character special file, or block
special file with the given pathname. By default, the
mode of created files is 0666 minus the bits set in the
umask.
The argument after the path specifies the type of file to
make:
p for a FIFO
b for a block (buffered) special file
c or u for a character (unbuffered) special file
When making a block or character special file, the major
and minor device numbers must be given after the file
type.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
_-_m_, _-_-_m_o_d_e _m_o_d_e
Set the mode of created files to _m_o_d_e, which is
symbolic as in chmod and uses the default mode as
the point of departure.
_-_-_h_e_l_p Print a usage message and exit with a non-zero sta-
tus.
_-_-_v_e_r_s_i_o_n
Print version information on standard error then
exit.
