NAME
       mknod - make block or character special files
SYNOPSIS
       mknod [OPTION]... NAME TYPE [MAJOR MINOR]
DESCRIPTION
       Create the special file NAME of the given TYPE.
       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory for short options
       too.
       -m, --mode=MODE
              set file permission bits to MODE, not a=rw - umask
       -Z     set the SELinux security context to default type
       --context[=CTX]
              like -Z, or if CTX is specified then set the  SELinux  or  SMACK
              security context to CTX
       --help display this help and exit
       --version
              output version information and exit
       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
       NOTE: your shell may have its  own  version  of  mknod,  which  usually
       supersedes  the  version  described here.  Please refer to your shell's
       documentation for details about the options it supports.
