@(#)MAKEDEV.8 8.1 (Berkeley) 06/05/93

C 7 MAKEDEV - create system and device special files MAKEDEV name ... The shell script MAKEDEV , found in the ``/dev'' directory, is used to create the common special files. See special (8) for a more complete discussion of special files.

MAKEDEV takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are the common abbreviation for the device. There are two special devices, ``std'' and ``local''. The former creates the standard devices for the architecture. The latter is for devices specific to the local site, and executes the shell file ``MAKEDEV.local''.

The VAX supports the following devices. Where a device name is followed by a hash sign (``#''), the hash sign must be replaced by a unit number.

10 std the standard devices (console, crl, csa1, csa2, drum, fd/*, floppy, kUmem, klog, kmem, mem, null, stderr, stdin, stdout, tty, tu0, tu1)
