NAME

Sys::Mknod - make special files

SYNOPSIS

   use Sys::Mknod;
 
   mknod ("/dev/filename", type, $major, $minor, $mode);
   mkfifo ("filename", $mode);

DESCRIPTION

mknod - creates special files. Why use system() when you can use syscall()?

$mode is the resultant file mode, and defaults to 0666. It does not override your umask.

SPECIAL FILE TYPES

$type must be one of:
m/^c/i
Creates a ``Character Special'' device.
m/^b/i
Creates a ``Block Special'' device"
