39.Pa /dev 40directory, is used to create various special files. 41See 42.Xr intro 4 43for a more complete discussion of special files. 44.Pp 45.Nm 46takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are 47the common abbreviation for the device or group of devices. 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. 56.Pp 57The alpha supports the following
