Here is the original comment taken from the MAKEDEV script. One day,
|
|
I'll do this properly.

This is my attempt at a MAKEDEV script. IMHO it cleans up many areas.
|
|
It can be used to determine the necessary info for a device without
|
|
actually creating it using the '-n' flag.
|
|
|
|
It makes less individual devices and tends to make classes of devices
|
|
(eg "MAKEDEV hda" will create "hda" and the 8 partitions; "MAKEDEV ptyp"
|
|
will create the ptyp[0-f] master and ttyp[0-f] slave devices).
|
|
|
|
If you are aware of any glaring omissions or errors, please let me know.
|
|
Also, if you are a developer who wants your devices supported by MAKEDEV,
|
|
let me know.
|
|
|
|
Thanks go to many people. Ian Jackson for the original help and
|
|
encouragement, to Matthias Urlichs for plugging "MAKEDEV update", and
|
|
to the many others that have bought errors and omissions to my attention.
