|
|
.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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The script is in
|
|
.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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The special targets supported on
|
|
.Nx Ns / Ns evbmips
|
|
are:

|
|
.It Ar all
|
|

|
|
.Pa MAKEDEV
|
|
supplies the standard numbers.
|
|
.It Ar minimal
|
|
A minimal set of devices for install disks, etc.
|
|
.It Ar std

The standard devices (console, drum, klog, kmem, mem, null, stderr, stdin, stdout, tty, zero).
|
|
.It Ar local
|

Configuration specific devices which are created by running the
|
|
.Pa MAKEDEV.local
|
|
shell script with the argument ``all''.
|
|
.It Ar usbs
|
|
All USB devices. If units are expected for a device
|
|
.Pa MAKEDEV
|
|
supplies the standard numbers.
