       Both MAJOR and MINOR must be specified when TYPE is b, c, or u, and
       they must be omitted when TYPE is p.  If MAJOR or MINOR begins with 0x
       or 0X, it is interpreted as hexadecimal; otherwise, if it begins with
       0, as octal; otherwise, as decimal.  TYPE may be:

       * b      create a block (buffered) special file * c, u   create a
       character (unbuffered) special file * p      create a FIFO

       supersedes the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's
