- Here is the original comment taken from the MAKEDEV script. One day,
- I'll do this properly.

-
- This is my attempt at a MAKEDEV script. IMHO it cleans up many areas.
- It can be used to determine the necessary info for a device without
- actually creating it using the '-n' flag.
-
- It makes less individual devices and tends to make classes of devices
- (eg "MAKEDEV hda" will create "hda" and the 8 partitions; "MAKEDEV ptyp"
- will create the ptyp[0-f] master and ttyp[0-f] slave devices).
-
- If you are aware of any glaring omissions or errors, please let me know.
- Also, if you are a developer who wants your devices supported by MAKEDEV,
- let me know.
-
- Thanks to Ian Jackson for the original help and encouragement.
