The main use for this flag is by -.I MAKEDEV -itself. -.TP -.B \-v -Be verbose. Print out the actions as they are performed. This is the -same output as produced by -.BR \-n . -.SH CUSTOMISATION -Since there is no standardisation in what names are used for system users -and groups, it is possible that you may need to modify -.B MAKEDEV -to reflect your site's settings. Near the top of the file is a mapping -from device type to user, group and permissions (e.g. all CD-ROM devices -are set from the \fC$cdrom\fP variable). If you wish to change the -defaults, this is the section to edit. -.SH DEVICES -.TP -.B General Options -.TP -.B update -This only works on kernels which have \fC/proc/interrupts\fP (introduced -during 1.1.x). This file is scanned to see what devices are currently -configured into the kernel, and this is compared with the previous -settings stored in the file called \fCDEVICES\fP. -Devices which are new since then or have a different major number are -created, and those which are no longer configured are deleted. -.TP -.B generic -Create a generic subset of devices. -.TP -.B -std -Standard devices. -.TP -.B local -.TP -.B Virtual Terminals -.TP -.B console -Also known as tty0. -.TP -.B tty{0..63} -Virtual consoles -.TP -.B Serial Devices -.TP -.I ttyS{0..63} -serial ports and corresponding dialout device -.TP -.I cyclades -Dial-in and dial-out devices for the cyclades intelligent I/O serial card. -.TP -.B Pseudo Terminals -.TP -.I pty[p-s] -banks of of master and slave pseudo terminals -.TP -.B Parallel Ports -.TP -.I par[0-3] lp[0-3] -parallel ports -.TP -.B Bus Mice -.TP -.I busmice -The various bus mice devices. -.TP -.B Joystick Devices -.TP -.I js -Joystick.
