Both MAJOR and MINOR must be specified when TYPE is b, c, or u, and they
must be omitted when TYPE is p. If MAJOR or MINOR begins with 0x or 0X,
it is interpreted as hexadecimal; otherwise, if it begins with 0, as octal;
otherwise, as decimal. TYPE may be:

  - b create a block (buffered) special file
  - c, u create a character (unbuffered) special file
  - p create a FIFO

NOTE: your shell may have its own version of mknod, which usually supersedes
the version described here. Please refer to your shell's documentation
for details about the options it supports.
