42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The shell script
44.Nm MAKEDEV ,
45found in the
46.Pa /dev

53.Pp
54.Nm MAKEDEV
55takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are
56the common abbreviation for the device.
57There are four special device names,
58.Ar all ,
59.Ar std ,
60.Ar local
61and
62.Ar wscons .
63If
64given,
65.Ar all
66creates device files for all devices on the hppa.
67If units are expected for a device,
68.Nm MAKEDEV
69will supply the standard numbers.
70The
71.Ar std
72argument creates only the standard devices for the hppa.
73Finally
74.Ar local
75is for devices specific to the local site, and executes the shell file
76.Pa MAKEDEV.local .
77.Pp
78The hppa supports the following devices.
79Where a device name is followed by a hash sign ("#"), the hash sign
80must be replaced by a unit number.
