#include <sys/stat.h> int mknod(const char *path, mode_t mode, dev_t dev);
This function is provided to assist in porting from Unix. If mode
specifies a regular file, mknod
creates a file using path
as its name. If mode specifies a character device, and if the
device whose name is given by path exists and its device
specification as returned by stat
or fstat
is equal to
dev, mknod
returns -1 and sets errno
to
EEXIST
. In all other cases, -1 is returned errno
is set
to EACCES
.
The argument dev is ignored if mode does not specify a character device.
Zero on success, -1 on failure.
