- NAME
- mknod - make special files
-
- SYNOPSIS
- mknod [-m mode] [--mode=mode] path {bcu} major minor
- mknod [-m mode] [--mode=mode] path p
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This manual page documents the GNU version of mknod. mknod
- creates a FIFO, character special file, or block special
- file with the given pathname. By default, the mode of
- created files is 0666 minus the bits set in the umask.
-
- The argument after the path specifies the type of file to
- make:
- p for a FIFO
- b for a block (buffered) special file
- c or u for a character (unbuffered) special file
-
- When making a block or character special file, the major and
- minor device numbers must be given after the file type.
-
- OPTIONS
- -_m, --_m_o_d_e _m_o_d_e
- Set the mode of created files to _m_o_d_e, which is sym-
- bolic as in chmod and uses the default mode as the
- point of departure.
-
- The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as
- `--', for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually
- support for `+' will be removed, because it is incompatible
- with the POSIX.2 standard.
