Usage



   mknod "name c|p major minor [link_name]"

Operation


Use MKNOD to create special files in a traditional UNIX format of major and minor numbers. When creating a device link or streams file (character-type file), you must enter both the major and minor numbers. If you enter a major number of 0, MKNOD creates a device link file that defaults to the LDEV number specified in the minor number argument. Entering a major number greater than 0 creates a streams file.

Additional Discussion


For more information on streams and device link files, refer to the HPDEVCREATE intrinsic in the MPE/iX Intrinsics Reference Manual.
