MAKEDEV(8)          OpenBSD System Manager's Manual (SPARC)         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. If given, all creates device files for
     all devices on Sparc.  If units are expected for a device MAKEDEV sup-
     plies the standard numbers.  The std argument creates the standard de-
     vices for Sparc.  Finally local is for devices specific to the local
     site, and executes the shell file MAKEDEV.local.

     Sparc 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 Sparc.
     std     The standard devices (console, drum, fd/*, klog, kmem, mem, null,
             stderr, stdin, stdout, tty, zero)
     local   Configuration specific devices
