+.TH MAKEDEV 8 "January 1995" "Version 1.4"
+.SH NAME
+MAKEDEV \- create and maintain filesystem device entries
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B MAKEDEV
+[
+.I \-vcdnhV
+]
+device or device-group name(s)
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B MAKEDEV
+is used to maintain the special filesystem entries found in /dev. It
+creates, or optionally removes, one or more device entries. The names 
+and device numbers are defined in the DEVINFO file (q.v.);
+site-specific configuration is found in the file MAKEDEV.cfg. 
+.B MAKEDEV
+itself has no knowledge of device information.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I -v 
+Verbose mode; print out exactly what's being done.
+.TP
+.I -c
+Create; create the specified devices. [default]
+.TP
+.I -d
+Delete; remove the specified devices instead of creating them.
+.TP
+.I -n
+Do nothing; only print what would be done. Implies -v as well.
+.TP
+.I -h
+Print a usage message.
+.TP
+.I -V
+Print the version string.
+.SS " "
+The following targets are special:
+.TP
+.I update
+Run MAKEDEV in update mode. This reads the list of devices currently
+available from /proc/devices, and updates all entries in /dev to match
+the device numbers found there.
+.TP
+.I local
+Run MAKEDEV to create local devices. This option is obsolete and just
+prints a warning message. Use DEVINFO.local and MAKEDEV.cfg to achieve
+the same results.
+.SH FILES
+.TP 20
+.I /etc/devinfo
+If ./DEVINFO is not found
+.TP
+.I /etc/devinfo.local
+Alternate location for local info
