#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.
