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.
