MAKEDEV(8)MAKEDEV(8)NAMEMAKEDEV - create system and device special files
SYNOPSISMAKEDEV name ...
DESCRIPTION
The shell script MAKEDEV, found in the ``/dev'' directory, is used to
create the common special files. See special(8) for a more complete
discussion of special files.
MAKEDEV takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names
are the common abbreviation for the device. There are two special
devices, ``std'' and ``local''. The former creates the standard
devices for the architecture. The latter is for devices specific to
the local site, and executes the shell file ``MAKEDEV.local''.
The VAX supports the following devices. Where a device name is fol‐
lowed by a hash sign (``#''), the hash sign must be replaced by a unit
number.
std the standard devices (console, crl, csa1, csa2, drum, fd/*,
floppy, kUmem, klog, kmem, mem, null, stderr, stdin, stdout,
tty, tu0, tu1)
