From 4b8f0c731225a3cdcf34b9db773685c4d97be267 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miod Vallat Date: Mon, 8 Apr 2002 21:40:31 +0000 Subject: Harmonize MAKEDEV.8 manpages, and provide one for arches still lacking it. Remove bogus/obsolete information in the way (hello, hp300 MAKEDEV.8!) This has been lying for a long time in my tree, but much more work will be needed until these pages are complete - watch out for more m4 madness to generate them in the future. --- share/man/man8/man8.vax/MAKEDEV.8 | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) (limited to 'share/man/man8/man8.vax') diff --git a/share/man/man8/man8.vax/MAKEDEV.8 b/share/man/man8/man8.vax/MAKEDEV.8 index 52315047cfe..5d1c7ba5eae 100644 --- a/share/man/man8/man8.vax/MAKEDEV.8 +++ b/share/man/man8/man8.vax/MAKEDEV.8 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $OpenBSD: MAKEDEV.8,v 1.8 2002/01/12 15:58:23 jason Exp $ +.\" $OpenBSD: MAKEDEV.8,v 1.9 2002/04/08 21:40:30 miod Exp $ .\" Copyright (c) 1991 The Regents of the University of California. .\" All rights reserved. .\" @@ -41,14 +41,13 @@ .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm MAKEDEV .Ar name -.Ar ... +.Op Ar ... .Sh DESCRIPTION The shell script .Nm MAKEDEV , found in the .Pa /dev -directory, is used to create the common special -files. +directory, is used to create the common special files.
