C 7 MAKEDEV - create device special files MAKEDEV device ... The shell script MAKEDEV , found in the ``/dev'' directory, is used to create the common special files used to interface to peripherals. 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.

The HP300 supports the following devices. Where a device name is followed by a hash sign (``#''), the hash sign must be replaced by a unit number.
