    MKNOD(8)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 MKNOD(8)

    NAME
         mknod - build special file

    SYNOPSIS
         /sbin/mknod name [ c ] [ b ] major minor

    DESCRIPTION
         Mknod makes a special file.  The first argument is the name
         of the entry.  The second is b if the special file is
         block-type (disks, tape) or c if it is character-type (other
         devices).	The last two arguments are numbers specifying the
         major device type and the minor device (e.g. unit, drive, or
         line number).

         The assignment of major device numbers is specific to each
         system.  They have to be dug out of the system source file
         conf.c.
