.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The shell script
|
||
|
|
.IR MAKEDEV ,
|
||
|
|
found in the ``/dev'' directory, is used to create the common special
|
||
|
|
files.
|
||
|
|
See
|
||
|
|
.IR special (8)
|
||
|
|
for a more complete discussion of special files.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I MAKEDEV
|
||
|
|
takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are
|
||
|
|
the common abbreviation for the device.
|
||
|
|
There are two special devices, ``std'' and ``local''.
|
||
|
|
The former creates the standard devices for the architecture.
|
||
|
|
The latter is for devices specific to the local site, and
|
||
|
|
executes the shell file ``MAKEDEV.local''.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The i386 supports the following devices.
|
||
|
|
Where a device name is followed by a hash sign (``#''), the hash sign
|
||
|
|
must be replaced by a unit number.
