93 90 .SH USAGE
94 -.sp
95 91 .LP
96 92 See \fBlargefile\fR(5) for the description of the behavior of \fBmknod\fR when
97 93 encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
98 94 .SH SEE ALSO

103 98 .SH NOTES
104 -.sp
105 99 .LP
106 100 If \fBmknod\fR(2) is used to create a device, the major and minor device
107 101 numbers are always interpreted by the kernel running on that machine.
108 102 .sp
109 103 .LP
110 104 With the advent of physical device naming, it would be preferable to create a
111 105 symbolic link to the physical name of the device (in the \fB/devices\fR
112 106 subtree) rather than using \fBmknod\fR.
