.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used to create system and device special files.
|
|
As arguments it takes the names of known devices, like
|
|
.Ar sd0 ,
|
|
or of special targets, like
|
|
.Pa all
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa std ,
|
|
which create a collection of device special files.

|
.Pa /dev/MAKEDEV
|
|
and must be called from the
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
directory.
|
|
For the creation of the devices,
|
|
.Xr mknod 8
|
|
is used, which can only be used for creating devices by the
|
|
super-user.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr mknod 8
|
|
used can be overridden by the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
flag.

|
|
Supported options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XmXmknodXX

|
|
.It Fl m Ar mknod
|
|

|
|
This man page is generated automatically from the same sources
|
|
as
|
|
.Pa /dev/MAKEDEV ,
|
|
in which the device files are not always sorted, which may result
|
|
in an unusual (non-alphabetical) order.
|
|
Not all devices listed in this manpage are supported on all platforms.
