| Here is the original comment taken from the MAKEDEV script. 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 go to many people. Ian Jackson for the original help and |
| encouragement, to Matthias Urlichs for plugging "MAKEDEV update", and |
| to the many others that have bought errors and omissions to my attention. |
