NAME
mknod - build special file

SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/mknod name [ c ] [ b ] major minor

DESCRIPTION
Mknod makes a special file. The first argument is the name of the
entry. The second is b if the special file is block-type (disks,
tape) or c if it is character-type (other devices). The last two
arguments are numbers specifying the major device type and the
minor device (e.g. unit, drive, or line number).

/dev/MAKEDEV is normally used to create special device files.
