.Dd June 12, 2008 .Dt MAKEDEV 8 macppc .Os .Sh NAME .Nm MAKEDEV .Nd create system and device special files .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm MAKEDEV .Ar name .Op Ar ... .Sh DESCRIPTION The shell script .Nm , found in the

a /dev directory, is used to create various special files. See .Xr intro 4 for a more complete discussion of special files.

p .Nm takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are the common abbreviation for the device or group of devices.

p Where a device name is followed by a star .Sq * , the star must be replaced by a unit number. If units are expected for a device but not provided, .Nm will supply the standard numbers in most cases.

p The macppc supports the following devices:
