Description: creates device files in /dev
The MAKEDEV executable is used to create device files, often in /dev.
.
Device files are special files through which applications can interact
with hardware.
.
This package is not necessary for most modern Linux systems, where the udev
subsystem provides a more dynamic mechanism for device file management.
