NAME
     clone - open any minor device on a STREAMS driver

DESCRIPTION
     clone passes a minor number of 0 to the target driver, and it is the
     responsibility of the target driver to select an unused minor number from
     the numbers it supports.

     clone generates an ENXIO error, without opening the device, if the minor
     device number provided does not correspond to a valid major device, or if
     the driver indicated is not a STREAMS driver.

CAVEATS
     Multiple opens of the same minor device cannot be done through the clone
     interface.	 Executing stat(2) on the filesystem node for a cloned device
     yields a different result from executing fstat(2) using a file descriptor
     obtained from opening the node.
