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 sparc supports the following devices: .Pp .Sy Special device names .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar all Creates special files for all devices on sparc. .It Ar ramdisk Ramdisk kernel devices. .It Ar std Creates the .Sq standard devices (console, drum, 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 fd* Floppy disk drives (3 1/2", 5 1/4"), see .Xr fd 4 . .It Ar presto* Prestoserve NVRAM memory, see .Xr presto 4 . .It Ar sd* SCSI disks, including flopticals, see .Xr sd 4 . .It Ar raid* RAIDframe disk devices, see .Xr raid 4 . .It Ar rd* .Dq rd pseudo-disks, see .Xr rd 4 . .It Ar vnd* .Dq file pseudo-disk devices, see .Xr vnd 4 . .It Ar xd* Xylogic 753/7053 disks, see .Xr xd 4 . .It Ar xy* Xylogic 450/451 disks, see .Xr xy 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 cua[a-z]* Zilog 8530 serial ports, see .Xr zs 4 . .It Ar tty[a-z]* Zilog 8530 serial ports, see .Xr zs 4 . .It Ar tty[0-7][0-9a-f] NS16x50 serial ports, see .Xr com 4 . .It Ar magma* Magma multiport cards, see .Xr magma 4 . .It Ar spif* .Dq spif multiport cards, see .Xr spif 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 Printers .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar bpp* Parallel port, see .Xr bpp 4 . .It Ar bppmag[mno] Magma parallel port, see .Xr magma 4 . .It Ar bpp[jkl] .Dq spif parallel port, see .Xr spif 4 . .El .Pp .Sy Console ports .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar ttyC0 Minimal wscons devices, see .Xr wscons 4 . .It Ar ttyC-F* 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 Special purpose devices .Bl -tag -width tenletters -compact .It Ar apm Power management device, see .Xr tctrl 4 . .It Ar audio* Audio devices, see .Xr audio 4 . .It Ar bpf* Berkeley Packet Filter, see .Xr bpf 4 . .It Ar fd fd/* nodes for fdescfs, see .Xr mount_fdesc 8 . .It Ar lkm Loadable kernel modules interface, see .Xr lkm 4 . .It Ar openprom PROM settings, see .Xr openprom 4 . .It Ar pf* Packet Filter, see .Xr pf 4 . .It Ar *random In-kernel random data source, see .Xr random 4 . .It Ar ss* SCSI scanners, see .Xr ss 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 xfs* XFS filesystem node, see .Xr mount_xfs 8 . .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
