NAME
|
|
MAKEDEV, DESCRIBE - make/describe device files
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
MAKEDEV [-n] key ...
|
|
DESCRIBE [device] ...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
MAKEDEV may be used to create the device files normally found in the /dev
|
|
directory. The key arguments are simply the names of the devices you
|
|
want. MAKEDEV knows about all supported devices and will create them in
|
|
the current directory with the proper owner and mode. For many devices
|
|
MAKEDEV will not only create the device you want, but also the devices
|
|
related to it that you will probably want too. Naming one floppy device
|
|
will create all floppy devices for the same drive for instance.
|
|
|
|
Call MAKEDEV without arguments to see a list of keys that it understands.
|
|
Then use the -n flag to make the script echo the commands it will execute
|
|
the next time when you call it without that flag.
|
|
|
|
The special key std must be given alone to MAKEDEV. This key will create
|
|
all standard devices.
|
|
|
|
The command DESCRIBE will give you a one-line description of a given
|
|
device. It will by default list all devices in /dev.
|

BUGS
|
|
MAKEDEV's eagerness to create devices may cause many "File exists" errors
|
|
from mknod.
