One day, +I'll do this properly. + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= + +This is my attempt at a MAKEDEV script. IMHO it cleans up many areas. +It can be used to determine the necessary info for a device without +actually creating it using the '-n' flag. + +It makes less individual devices and tends to make classes of devices +(eg "MAKEDEV hda" will create "hda" and the 8 partitions; "MAKEDEV ptyp" +will create the ptyp[0-f] master and ttyp[0-f] slave devices). + +If you are aware of any glaring omissions or errors, please let me know. +Also, if you are a developer who wants your devices supported by MAKEDEV, +let me know. + +Thanks to Ian Jackson for the original help and encouragement. + + Nick Holloway <Nick.Holloway@alfie.demon.co.uk> |
