+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command creates device special files.
+.Pp
+To make nodes manually, the required arguments are:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width majorx
+.It Ar name
+Device name, for example
+.Dq sd
+for a SCSI disk on an HP300 or a
+.Dq pty
+for pseudo-devices.
+.It Cm b | Cm c | Cm w
+Type of device. If the
+device is a block type device such as a tape or disk drive which needs
+both cooked and raw special files,
+the type is
+.Cm b .
+Whiteout nodes are type
+.Cm w .
+All other devices are character type devices, such as terminal
+and pseudo devices, and are type
+.Cm c .
+.It Ar major
+The major device number is an integer number which tells the kernel
+which device driver entry point to use.
+.It Ar minor
+The minor device number tells the kernel which one of several similar
+devices the node corresponds to; for example, it may be a specific serial
+port or pty.
+.It Ar unit and subunit
+The unit and subunit numbers select a subset of a device; for example, the
+unit may specify a particular SCSI disk, and the subunit a partition on
+that disk. (Currently this form of specification is only supported by the
+.Ar bsdos
+format, for compatibility with the
+.Bsx
+.Xr mknod 8 . )
+.El
+.Pp
+Device numbers for different operating systems may be packed in a different
+format. To create device nodes that may be used by such an operating system
+(e.g. in an exported file system used for netbooting), the
+.Fl F
+option is used. The following formats are recognized:
+native,
+386bsd,
+4bsd,
+bsdos,
+freebsd,
+hpux,
+isc,
+linux,
+netbsd,
+osf1,
+sco,
+solaris,
+sunos,
+svr3,
+svr4 and
+ultrix.
+.Pp
+Alternatively, a single opaque device number may be specified.
