40directory, is used to create various special files. 41See 42.Xr intro 4 43for a more complete discussion of special files. 44.Pp 45.Nm 46takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are 47the common abbreviation for the device or group of devices. 48.Pp 49Where a device name is followed by a star 50.Sq * , 51the star must be replaced by a unit number. 52If units are expected for a device but not provided, 53.Nm 54will supply the standard numbers in most cases. 55.Pp 56The landisk supports the following devices: 57.Pp 58.Sy Special device names 59.Bl -tag -width
