Linux Standard Base Core Specification 3.0Preview1 | ||

The mknod command shall create a special file named name of the given type.
The type shall be one of the following:
creates a block (buffered) special file with the specified major and minor device numbers.
creates a character (unbuffered) special file with the specified major and minor device numbers.
creates a FIFO.
create the special file with file access permissions set as described in mode. The permissions may be any absolute value (i.e. one not containing '+' or '-') acceptable to the chmod command.
output version information and exit.
Note: This option may be deprecated in a future release of this specification.
If type is pparameter, major and minor shall not be specified. Otherwise, these parameters are mandatory.
This command may be deprecated in a future version of this specification. The major and minor operands are insufficently portable to be specified usefully here. Only a FIFO can be portably created by this command, and the mkfifo command is a simpler interface for that purpose.
