.Dd January 27, 2001 .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 MAKEDEV , found in the
a /dev directory, is used to create the common special files. See .Xr intro 4 for a more complete discussion of special files.
p .Nm MAKEDEV takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are the common abbreviation for the device. There are four special device names, .Ar all , .Ar std , .Ar local and .Ar wscons . If given, .Ar all creates device files for all devices on the macppc. If units are expected for a device, .Nm MAKEDEV will supply the standard numbers. The .Ar std argument creates only the standard devices for the macppc. Finally .Ar local is for devices specific to the local site, and executes the shell file
a MAKEDEV.local .
p The macppc supports the following devices. Where a device name is followed by a hash sign ("#"), the hash sign must be replaced by a unit number.
