- MAKEDEV(8) Minix Programmer's Manual MAKEDEV(8)
- 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.
- SEE ALSO
- mknod(8).
- BUGS
- MAKEDEV's eagerness to create devices may cause many "File exists" errors
- from mknod.
