See .Xr intro 4 for a more complete discussion of special files. .Pp .Nm takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are the common abbreviation for the device or group of devices. .Pp Where a device name is followed by a star .Sq * , the star must be replaced by a unit number. If units are expected for a device but not provided, .Nm will supply the standard numbers in most cases. .Pp The loongson supports the following devices: .Pp .Sy Special device names .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar all Creates special files for all devices on loongson. .It Ar ramdisk Ramdisk kernel devices. .It Ar std Creates the .Sq standard devices (console, klog, kmem, ksyms, mem, null, stderr, stdin, stdout, tty, zero) which are absolutely necessary for the system to function properly. .It Ar local Creates configuration-specific devices, by invoking the shell file .Pa MAKEDEV.local . .El .Pp .Sy Disks .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar ccd* Concatenated disk devices, see .Xr ccd 4 . .It Ar cd* ATAPI and SCSI CD-ROM drives, see .Xr cd 4 . .It Ar rd* .Dq rd pseudo-disks, see .Xr rd 4 . .It Ar sd* SCSI disks, including flopticals, see .Xr sd 4 . .It Ar vnd* .Dq file pseudo-disk devices, see .Xr vnd 4 . .It Ar wd* .Dq winchester disk drives (ST506, IDE, ESDI, RLL, ...), see .Xr wd 4 . .El .Pp .Sy Tapes .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar ch* SCSI media changers, see .Xr ch 4 . .It Ar st* SCSI tape drives, see .Xr st 4 . .El .Pp .Sy Terminal ports .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar tty[0-7][0-9a-f] NS16x50 serial ports, see .Xr com 4 . .El .Pp .Sy Pseudo terminals .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar ptm pty master device, see .Xr ptm 4 . .It Ar pty* Set of 62 master pseudo terminals, see .Xr pty 4 . .It Ar tty* Set of 62 slave pseudo terminals, see .Xr tty 4 . .El .Pp .Sy Console ports .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar wscons Minimal wscons devices, see .Xr wscons 4 . .It Ar ttyC-J* wscons display devices, see .Xr wsdisplay 4 . .It Ar wskbd* wscons keyboards, see .Xr wskbd 4 . .It Ar wsmux wscons keyboard/mouse mux devices, see .Xr wsmux 4 . .El .Pp .Sy Pointing devices .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar wsmouse* wscons mice, see .Xr wsmouse 4 . .El .Pp .Sy USB devices .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar uall All USB devices, see .Xr usb 4 . .It Ar ttyU* USB serial ports, see .Xr ucom 4 . .It Ar ugen* Generic USB devices, see .Xr ugen 4 . .It Ar uhid* Generic HID devices, see .Xr uhid 4 . .It Ar ulpt* Printer devices, see .Xr ulpt 4 . .It Ar urio* Diamond Multimedia Rio 500, see .Xr urio 4 . .It Ar usb* Bus control devices used by usbd for attach/detach, see .Xr usb 4 . .El .Pp .Sy Special purpose devices .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar apm Power management device, see .Xr apm 4 . .It Ar audio* Audio devices, see .Xr audio 4 . .It Ar bio ioctl tunnel pseudo-device, see .Xr bio 4 . .It Ar bpf* Berkeley Packet Filter, see .Xr bpf 4 . .It Ar crypto Hardware crypto access driver, see .Xr crypto 4 . .It Ar fd fd/* nodes, see .Xr fd 4 . .It Ar hotplug devices hot plugging, see .Xr hotplug 4 . .It Ar pci* PCI bus devices, see .Xr pci 4 . .It Ar pf* Packet Filter, see .Xr pf 4 . .It Ar *random In-kernel random data source, see .Xr random 4 . .It Ar systrace* System call tracing device, see .Xr systrace 4 . .It Ar tun* Network tunnel driver, see .Xr tun 4 . .It Ar uk* Unknown SCSI devices, see .Xr uk 4 . .It Ar video* Video V4L2 devices, see .Xr video 4 . .It Ar nnpfs* NNPFS filesystem node, see .Xr mount_nnpfs 8 . .It Ar bthub* Bluetooth Hubs, see .Xr bthub 4 . .It Ar vscsi* Virtual SCSI controller, see .Xr vscsi 8 . .It Ar diskmap Disk mapper, see .Xr diskmap 4 . .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /dev -compact .It Pa /dev The special file directory. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr intro 4 , .Xr config 8 , .Xr mknod 8
