mknod (ULTRIX) mknod (ULTRIX)
NAME
mknod - Creates a special file
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc.a)
System V Compatibility Library (libsys5.a)
DIFFERENCES
Requires the sys/stat.h and sys/types.h header files. The Standard C
Library changes the declaration of dev from int to dev_t. Digital UNIX
sets the group ID of the new file to the group ID of its parent direc‐
tory where as System V sets group ID to the effective group ID of the
creating process. Adds errno value of ENAMETOOLONG
SYSTEM V COMPATIBILITY
Digital UNIX provides the libsys5.a library to allow you to use library
functions that are compatible with System V library functions. This
library contains functions for those libc functions whose behavior is
incompatible with POSIX or X/Open standards. The ULTRIX system also
provides a System V compatibility library, libcV.a, which supplies a
number of features similar to those that libsys5.a provides. The most
significant behavior of the functions in this library is the compati‐
bility with System V nonblocked signals. For more information about
the System V (SVID-2) features in Digital UNIX, please refer to the
System V Compatibility User's Guide.
Supports passing of dev as an int, instead dev_t.
