+.SH NAME
+MAKEDEV \- create system and device special files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+MAKEDEV name ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The shell script
+.IR MAKEDEV ,
+found in the ``/dev'' directory, is used to create the common special
+files.
+See
+.IR special (8)
+for a more complete discussion of special files.
+.PP
+.I MAKEDEV
+takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are
+the common abbreviation for the device.
+There are two special devices, ``std'' and ``local''.
+The former creates the standard devices for the architecture.
+The latter is for devices specific to the local site, and
+executes the shell file ``MAKEDEV.local''.
+.PP
+The i386 supports the following devices.
+Where a device name is followed by a hash sign (``#''), the hash sign
+must be replaced by a unit number.
