.Ar name
.Op Ar ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The shell script
.Nm MAKEDEV ,
found in the
.Pa /dev
directory, is used to create
the common special
files.
See
.Xr intro 4
for a more complete discussion of special files.
.Pp
.Nm MAKEDEV
takes any number of device names as arguments,
where the names are the common abbreviation for
the device.  There are three special device names,
.Ar all ,
.Ar std
and
.Ar local .
If
given,
.Ar all
creates device files for all devices on
the Amiga.  If units are expected for a device
.Nm MAKEDEV
supplies the standard numbers.
The
.Ar std
argument creates the standard devices for the Amiga.
Finally
.Ar local
is for devices specific to the local site, and
executes the shell file
.Pa MAKEDEV.local .
.Pp
The Amiga supports the following devices.
Where a device name is followed by a hash
sign ("#"), the hash sign must be replaced
by a unit number.
