POSIX shell, create the default link file /dev/tape:
:MKNOD "/dev/tape c 0 n"
where:
/dev/tape is device link filename
c and 0 are two parameters c (lowercase) and 0
(zero) required to create a device link file
n is LDEV number of the tape device on the system
that the device link file is linked to
Straight quotes are required around all the parameters.
