- _m_k_n_o_d makes a directory entry and corresponding inode for a special file
- or named pipe. The first argument is the _n_a_m_e of the entry to create.
-
- In the first form of the command, the second argument is bbbb if the special
- file describes a block device (disks, tape) or cccc if it is a character
- device (for example, a tty line). The last two arguments are numbers
- specifying the _m_a_j_o_r device number and the _m_i_n_o_r device number (for
- example, the unit, drive, or line number). They may be either decimal or
- octal. The assignment of major device numbers is specific to each
- system. The information is contained in the system source file
- /_u_s_r/_i_n_c_l_u_d_e/_s_y_s/_m_a_j_o_r._h.
-
- You must be the superuser to use this form of the command. The normal
- convention is to keep all special device files under the /_d_e_v directory.
-
- The second form of the _m_k_n_o_d command is used to create named pipes
- (a.k.a. FIFOs). This form of the command is not restricted to the
- superuser.
