MKNOD Program
Usage
mknod "name c|p major minor [link_name]"
Operation
Use MKNOD to create special files in a traditional UNIX format of major
and minor numbers. When creating a device link or streams file
(character-type file), you must enter both the major and minor numbers.
If you enter a major number of 0, MKNOD creates a device link file that
defaults to the LDEV number specified in the minor number argument.
Entering a major number greater than 0 creates a streams file.
Additional Discussion
For more information on streams and device link files, refer to the
HPDEVCREATE intrinsic in the MPE/iX Intrinsics Reference Manual
(32650-90028).
