# 217484 16-Jan-2011 jilles

mknod(2): The required include is <sys/stat.h>, not <unistd.h>.

This is what SUSv4 requires, and also the only thing that works if strict
standards compliance is requested or mknodat() is needed.

mdoc(7) police: "The .Fa argument.".

mdoc(7) police: Tidy up the syscall language.

Stop calling system calls "function calls".

Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".

When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 50456 27-Aug-1999 joerg

Remove a 4.3BSDish anachronism that claimed EPERM for an attempt to
mknod() a pathname containg a ``character with the high-order bit
set''.


# 48794 12-Jul-1999 nik

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

Mention that you can only create a block or char special file using
mknod(2).


# 24526 02-Apr-1997 jdp

Correct the most glaring errors. I have a feeling there are some
left.


# 22045 27-Jan-1997 obrien

I was porting something from sysV world and found our cross references
not quite as good as I would expect. So I'm introducing mknod to mkfifo,
and vice-versa.


# 21570 11-Jan-1997 mpp

Remove the EINVAL error from the ERRORS sections that
say is means that a pathname had the high-order bit
set, since this is no longer an error.


# 17782 22-Aug-1996 mpp

Correctly use .Fn instead of .Nm to reference function names
in a bunch of man pages.

Use the correct .Bx (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text
in a bunch of man pages.
