18 /* Usage: mknod [-m mode] [--mode=mode] path {bcu} major minor
19 make a block or character device node
20 mknod [-m mode] [--mode=mode] path p
21 make a FIFO (named pipe)
23 Options:
24 -m, --mode=mode Set the mode of created nodes to MODE, which is
25 symbolic as in chmod and uses the umask as a point of
26 departure.
