10.0;mkdev (make devices)
/etc/mkdev (make devices - make devices

Usage:  /etc/mkdev dev_directory [-d devno_file] [[all] '|'
               [console] [tty] [null] [sio] [pad] [pty] [dsk]
               [mt] [global_devices] [logd] [nuls] [display] [crp]]



DESCRIPTION
     mkdev creates devices.  device_directory is usually /dev; -d devno_file
     can be used to specify a device number/manager mapping file to use in
     place of `node_data/device_numbers.

     If no additional arguments are specified, then all devices which have not
     been created will be.  mkdev creates a file called .mkdev in the device
     directory to record for future instances of itself what work has to be
     done, (actually just the version of the last mkdev to run to completion).

     If any arguments are specified (or all) then these devices will be
     deleted and recreated.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Should be self-explanatory.

FILES
     `node_data/device_numbers
                          Default device number mapping file
