MKNOD(1M) Maintenance Commands MKNOD(1M)

mknod - build special file

mknod name b | c major minor
mknod name p

Mknod makes a special file. The first argument is the name of the entry. The second is b if the special file is block-type (disks, tape) or c if it is character-type (other devices). The last two arguments are numbers specifying the major device type and the minor device (e.g. unit, drive, or line number).

If the second argument is p, mknod creates a FIFO special file.
