MAKEDEV(8)           OpenBSD System Manager's Manual (VAX)          MAKEDEV(8)

NAME
     MAKEDEV - create system and device special files

SYNOPSIS
     MAKEDEV name ...

DESCRIPTION
     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 three special de-
     vice names, all, std, and local. All creates device files for all devices
     on the VAX. If units are expected for a device, MAKEDEV supplies the
     standard numbers. The std argument creates the standard devices for the
     VAX.  Finally, the local argument 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.

     Pseudo-names

     all     All known devices for the VAX.
