.Sh NAME
.Nm MAKEDEV
.Nd create system and device special files
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm MAKEDEV
.Ar name ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The shell script
.Nm ,
found in the
.Pa /dev
directory, is used to create various special files.
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:
