major minor
major gives the major device type; minor, the minor device type. You can
specify device types in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal.
mknod differentiates between octal and decimal as follows:
v Any number that starts with 0 but not 0x is octal.
v Any number that starts with 0x is hexadecimal.
v Any number that does not start with 0x or 0 is decimal.
For additional information on assigning major and minor numbers, see z/OS
UNIX System Services Planning.
p Creates a FIFO special file (that is, a named pipe).
mknod uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
v NLSPATH
0 Successful completion
1 Failure due to any of the following:
v Inability to create the desired file
v Incorrect major or minor number
2 Failure due to any of the following:
v Too few command-line arguments
v A missing major or minor device number
UNIX systems. Within POSIX, mknod has been superseded by mkfifo for pipes.
The POSIX family of standards has not yet designed an alternative to mknod for
special files.

Description
mknod
more [–ceiSsU] [–A|–u] [–n number] [–P prompt] [–p command] [–t tag] [file ...]
more [–ceiSsU] [–A|–u] [–n number] [–P prompt] [–t tag] [+command] [file ...]
more displays files one page at a time. It obtains the number of lines per page from
the environment or from the –n option. If standard output (stdout) is not a terminal
device, the number of lines per page is infinite.
more displays the files specified by file ... (that is, a list of filenames) one at a time.
When more finishes displaying one file, it begins displaying the next one in the list.
If you give – as one of the filenames, more reads the standard input at that point in
the sequence.
