35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The shell script
37.Nm ,
38found in the

48Files are created in the current working directory.
49.Pp
50Where a device name is followed by a star
51.Sq * ,
52the star must be replaced by a unit number.
53If units are expected for a device but not provided,
54.Nm
55will supply the standard numbers in most cases.
